The GamesCrafters project doesn't end at the software. Below we've got a collection of links to other interesting aspects of GamesCrafters, including recent publicity of our work, information on implementing your own game in C and Tcl/Tk, background information on game theory, and some fun links that we've made ourselves or found around the web. We've also included information on the origins of GamesCrafters in the form of Dan Garcia's Masters Thesis and an introduction to the Gamesman system. Browse around the links below to explore the full gamut of extra ideas that game theory has to offer.
