Key features of the NetworGame program package:

The simulation program includes

1. options for pay-off matrices of any symmetric or asymmetric normal form games (with 2 to 5 strategies);
2. several well-known, replicator-type strategy update rules, as well as the option for additional strategy update rules in a ‘plugin’-type format;
3. synchronous, and semi-synchronous updating;
4. several in-built model networks (such as random, lattice and small-world;
5. the option for the inclusion of any real world networks in Pajek format;
6. the program allows setting the starting strategy of any nodes according to the wish of the experimenter, and
7. introduces the novel use of link weights by considering link weights as probabilities of the game played between the corresponding nodes;
8. moreover, the program allows the use of directed networks specified in Pajek format which allows the simulation of asymmetric games like the ultimatum game or the dictator game.
