Axelrod's Prisoner's Dilemma source code

855 Views Asked by At

I'm analyzing the prisoner's dilemma and want to reproduce Axelrod's historic computer tournaments (Robert Axelrod, "Effective Choice in the prisoner's dilemma", Journal of conflict resolution).

Does anyone know if the original source code or algorithms are available?

Axelrod does describe the entered programs in his paper, but I would rather not rewrite them based on the descriptions which might introduce wrong assumptions (and waste effort :).

The link provided on Robert Axelrod's homepage is broken. But he has provided me with the following link.

Source code is unfortunately / obviously in Fortran. Hopefully this helps. If I ever get around to translating this into python I'll be sure to post here.
