Prisoner's Dilemma Coding dojo with Tomas Petricek
A SkillsCast for this session is not available.
There are many interesting strategies that you can write - for example, cooperate until the opponent starts deceiving; do the same thing as the opponent in the previous round or choose randomly. They can be simple with just a few lines of F# or elaborate with sophisticated machine learning, so there will be something fun to try for both F# beginners and experts. And a simple strategy can often turn out to be better than a complex one.
You'll learn everything you need to know in the meetup, but if you want, you can read about Prisoner's Dilemma online: ahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma
