Trust Trials is an online game where you create strategies to compete in an iterated Prisoner's Dilemma. Strategies are matched multiple times daily, with scores tracked on a public leaderboard. Currently in beta and seeking feedback to enhance gameplay.
I've created an interesting (at least to me) game that I think others might enjoy. It's based on The Prisoner's Dilemma. Specifically, my inspiration is Axelrod's tournament/experiment from the 1980s.
In summary, you create a strategy that's exposed via HTTP. Multiple times a day, my game server matches your strategy with someone else's, and the two strategies play a variation of the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma. The server tracks scores and displays them on a leaderboard. All decisions from every matchup are available for public viewing.
The goal is to tweak and refine your strategy to be the best.
I'm particularly interested in feedback and would love for discussions to happen in this thread so we can all collaborate and improve the game together.
@callum_rutledge Thanks Callum! I understand that hosting an API may be a drawback for some, but also believe it could be a draw for others. I was even thinking that this could be an exercise for some high school comp sci classes or 100 level college classes.
This is one of the more intriguing landing pages I have encountered. While I appreciate the simplicity of the design, I believe there is potential for enhancing the user experience through the incorporation of interactivity. One possible approach could be to integrate a terminal add-in at the conclusion of the process, allowing users to continue with the content by entering commands. This could be a valuable addition, as it would allow users to gradually add content to the page, similar to the approach used in older operating systems. Furthermore, if users choose to engage with this feature, it could enhance the overall interactivity of the page. Overall, I commend the effort and creativity demonstrated in this landing page.
