Gambit project is a library of game theory software and tools for the construction and analysis of finite extensive and normal form games.

Gambit is designed to be portable across platforms: it currently is known to run on Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X, and Windows 98 and later.

Here are some key features of "Gambit":
A graphical user interface, based upon the wxWidgets (nee wxWindows) library, providing a common look-and-feel across platforms.
A Python API for scripting applications (under development).
A library of C++ source code for representing games, suitable for use in other applications.

What's New in This Release:
This release fixes some minor bugs and adds a few minor graphical interface enhancements as part of refactoring the internals to make building a publicly-documented library for the next release cycle.
(The library is built, but not documented now; see the libgambit directory in the source distribution.) New implementations of four algorithms have been added, quantal response tracing, a heuristic support-search method, and the global Newton and iterated polymatrix methods of Govindan and Wilson.
