Arguments

Value

'extGame' returns a graphic with the amount of resource of each competitor on each time.

Details

A zero-sum game is a mathematical representation of a situation in which a participant's gain (or loss) of resource is exactly balanced by the losses (or gains) of the resource of the other participant(s). If the total gains of the participants are added up, and the total losses are subtracted, they will sum to zero.
