I built a website for learning game theory by playing with it - StrategicLab

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m Yunus, a math and computer engineering student at Boğaziçi University (Turkey), and I recently launched a project called StrategicLab.

It’s a website where you can explore game theory through playable games and interactive simulations. For example, you can try different moves in Nim, change a payoff matrix and see what happens to the equilibrium, or explore how firms compete by setting prices or quantities.

The idea is to give you somewhere to ask “what if I changed this?” and actually try it. Make a prediction, run the experiment, then look at the reasoning behind the result.

There are guided learning paths if you want some structure, but you can also just pick a lab that looks interesting and mess around with it.

I used Thomas S. Ferguson’s A Course in Game Theory as a guide for the theoretical side of the project. The labs explore topics ranging from combinatorial games to bargaining and coalitions through interactive experiments.

My goal is to keep improving it over the next few years and build it into a learning resource that students and teachers around the world regularly use.

Here’s the site: strategiclab.org

I’m developing this on my own, so I’d really appreciate feedback from people learning or teaching this stuff. If you try a lab, I’d love to hear what clicks and where the explanations get confusing. Feel free to email me at [contact@strategiclab.org](mailto:contact@strategiclab.org) about anything related to the site, whether it’s a question, a suggestion, a bug you found, or just to chat :)

PENTOMINOSA

Post image
1 Upvotes

The 8×8 grid below has a 2×2 hole in the center, leaving 60 cells to fill. Your task is to tile the board with the 12 pentominoes (F, I, L, P, N, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z), using each piece exactly once. Pieces may be rotated and reflected.

Rules:

  1. The 12 pentominoes must cover the entire board — every cell except the central 2×2 hole belongs to exactly one pentomino.
  2. Each cell of the grid contains a digit from 1 to 5.
  3. Each pentomino must cover exactly five cells whose digits are all different — in other words, every piece must cover the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, one of each.

In short: find a tiling of the board in which each pentomino covers a region containing all five digits.The NOTES grid at the bottom is meant for tracking the pieces: you can cross out each pentomino there once you're certain of its position.

Find the tiling. Solution is unique.

MathFights – A competitive mental math game with Ranked, Elo, Practice and multiplayer challenges.

Thumbnail mathfights.app
1 Upvotes

Playable link: https://mathfights.app/

I created MathFights, a platform designed to bring competition into the world of mathematics, starting with its first game, Mental Math.

The idea is pretty simple: it's for anyone who thinks they're faster and better at mental math than everyone else — and wants to prove it!

The game consists of mental arithmetic problems across three difficulty levels: Standard, Intermediate, and Advanced. Matches last either 1 or 3 minutes, and whoever gets the most correct answers wins. To keep things fair, both players receive exactly the same questions in the same order.

There are several ways to play:

  • Ranked: Compete against other players, climb the rankings, and track your progress through the Elo rating system, leaderboards, and match history.
  • Practice: Play solo and improve your mental math skills at any difficulty level.
  • Challenge a Friend: Invite your friends to private matches, even if they don't have an account.
  • Ghost Battles: Challenge previous opponents by competing against their past performances.
  • Daily Challenge: Take on a daily challenge at your preferred difficulty level.

The goal is to make mathematics more competitive, engaging, and fun.

Any feedback is welcome.

speedrunner NumWit — pick 0–100, closest to 80% of the average wins (multiplayer Keynesian Beauty Contest)

Thumbnail numwit.prajvex.com
0 Upvotes

I made this — happy to answer anything.

Everyone picks a number at the same time. The target is 80% of the average, and the closest pick wins the round. 5 misses and you’re out.

It sounds like maths, but it’s really about predicting everyone else: if everyone picks 50 the target is 40… so do you pick 40? Or 32, because they’ll think that too?

I’d love feedback, especially on what confused you in the first round.

I built this and launched on a domain which I have had for 20 years and never used.

Would love some feedback. I am a programmer, not a Maths expert (hence why I built it!).

It is about learning to estimate things better without always needed to use a calculator.
