Under this matrix, the offense tag aab matched against the defense tag aaaad would yield a score of 4+4+0 = 8. (In this simple example, the additional letters in the defense tag do not enter the scoring; in a more sophisiticated scoring procedure, the defense might be given some extra points for additional letters). A score is also calculated for the second agent by matching its offense tag against the defense tag of the first agent. If the score of one agent exceeds the score of the other, then that agent is declared the winner of the combat. In an interesting variant, the win is a stochastic function of the difference of the two scores. |
