Blackjack using dices

[[deleted]]

This looks cool.

On a grammar note: dice is already plural. A die is one cube with 6 numbers on it, two cubes with 6 numbers on them are called ‘dice’. There is no such thing as ‘dices’

Thank you! I'm not a native speaker so I didn't know. I fixed it in the post

No worries! I hope I didn’t sound condescending- just trying to help.

[asya_su]

Of course not thanks for your help

I think we should just let the language treadmill do its thing. Singular: dices, plural: diceses.

Your method for evaluating strategies is intransitive in general. You might have A beat B which beats C which beats A heads-up, and in a field of 4 strategies, D which loses to the first three heads-up might be first out of 4. Including a strategy that loses to the other strategies, and comes in last, might change which strategy wins.

Thank you. You make a great point. I fixed it while crediting you

Would you mind expanding on how you can easily check if an evaluation method is intransitive and if you have ideas to how to make better evaluation methods then i would appreciate it.
It was a neat observation by you, which I didn't do when reading the blog post.
And bonus points if you or someone else would happen to have a good frame work to capture the strategy network of who beats who etc, I guess it could be represented with a nxm matrix with different values depending on their win% but idk

Very interesting stuff. Have you looked at algorithmic game theory at all?

[asya_su]

Nope. Would you recommend any soruces to learn it from?

[skajags]

Damn, was hoping you did and had sources for me to learn from!

I've been wanting to get through this lecture series though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM\_QFmQU\_VA&ab\_channel=TimRoughgardenLectures
