Method Detail

getBestStrategy

public static int getBestStrategy(java.util.List gameAgents)

Returns the best (highest payoff) strategy for the last round. This calls getStrategy and getPayoff on each GameAgent in the list and returns which strategy had the highest total payoff. Strategies are defined as int constants in GameAgent (GameAgent.LEFT and GameAgent.RIGHT). If the totalPayoffs are equal then one will be picked at random. Note that this does plain old floating point addition and so the result is not exactly accurate.

Parameters:

gameAgents - a list of GameAgents
