Dear all, I am attempting to follow the developer guidelines and after applying for a trac server account it is recommended to email this list with some details of what I hope to do before opening a ticket.
If it sounds like a good idea I'd like to open tickets with an aim to develop some Game Theoretic capabilities in to Sage. Loosely this would include the following: - A general class for a general game object, - Classes for cooperative games, - Class for matching games - Classes for normal form games, Most of this is relatively simple to do however methods to solve normal form games would require new algorithms to be written and/or and adaption of the lrs package (http://cgm.cs.mcgill.ca/~avis/C/lrs.html) (that I understand 'lives' in Sage already somewhere...) I (think I) understand that I would need to open multiple tickets for this and suggest opening 3 tickets (one for each of the types of game so far). I have obtained funding to have a talented undergraduate student (proficient with Python, Sage, git and starting to learn Cython as well as various other tools) work with me on this over the summer. Proposal available here: http://goo.gl/4ck47Q As a result of this I am thinking about potentially taking the student to present at a national UK conference where we would showcase not only the Game Theory code but also Sage as a research tool. In the future this could/would hopefully lead to more types of game theoretic models being added. I'm not sure if this was the type of email I was expected to write but hopefully everyone thinks this is an ok idea as I am impatient to be able to call myself a contributor to Sage :) I'd be grateful to hear your thoughts.
