The Game Theory

November 10th, 2008

So imagine this situation:

Player One has already been blocked by Player Two and there is one route to the finish line remaining. Player Two is attempting to make it as difficult as possible for Player One to complete the level by playing competatively, so makes a dash to block off the remaining route. But in doing so, the world responds by changing both the player’s routes to allow passage to Player One and disadvantage Player 2.

In seeing the consequences of playing competatively will the players then develop more advanced strategies of playing, either by adapting their behaviour to act neutrally within the world or even come full circle and achieve levels by cooperative gameplay.

In fact what comes next is figuring out a way to make allowing the other player to win be mutually or even more beneficial for yourself.
