+---- Thread: [Python] Putting a strategy into a python agent (/showthread.php?tid=5472518)
Putting a strategy into a python agent - S M I T H Y - Nov 23, 2016
So im working on some agents to play the Axelrods python game, the agent i currently have is below, what i would like to know is how would i implement a new strategy into this agent? A strategy such as one that always defects? The agent always needs to return either a 'C' for cooperate or D for defect.
Code
class PlayerFlipper:
def move(self, history):
mine, theirs = history
if len(mine) % 2 == 0:
return 'C'
else:
return 'D'* - Goodies - Nov 23, 2016
Well, if you want to always defect, just return 'D' every time.

Thanks for your reply, okay so how could i turn it into a strategy thats random, so the agent cooperates or defects on a completely random basis?
Another strategy that i want to implement is a Mimic strategy so it mimics other players moves based on previous rounds.

how about:
PHP Code
<?php
import random
...
#in your function:
return random.choice(("D", "C"))

You can use the random library.
PHP Code
<?php
import random
random = random.randint(1,4) #range of numbers
if random == 1:
print("your code") #your code if random is 4
elif random == 2:
print "your code"
else:
print ("error") # if random is 3 or 4
Is this what you mean by a 'random' strategy?
