Do not use too many objects on one slide. Do not repeat the same chess piece, character, icon, or illustration on every slide. LAYOUT STYLE Follow the visual logic of the uploaded reference: - Large central headline - Strong use of negative space - One clear visual focal point - Decorative 3D objects placed partly outside the canvas - Minimal text - Clear navigation and visual flow - Balanced asymmetrical composition - Large margins - Clean content grouping Every slide should have a different but visually consistent composition. Do not place all content inside repetitive rectangular cards. Use cards only when they improve understanding, such as: - Payoff matrices - Formula explanations - Step-by-step calculations - Comparisons - Key definitions Avoid using the exact same layout on every slide. TYPOGRAPHY Use a bold, rounded, modern sans-serif font for major headings. Preferred heading styles: - Poppins ExtraBold - Manrope ExtraBold - Inter Black - Plus Jakarta Sans ExtraBold - A similar clean rounded sans-serif Use a clean sans-serif for body text: - Manrope - Inter - Poppins - Plus Jakarta Sans Typography rules: - Main slide title: 48–72 px - Major section title: 40–56 px - Body text: 20–28 px - Labels and supporting text: 16–20 px - Use bold weight for important terms - Keep line lengths short - Use high contrast - Avoid thin fonts - Avoid serif fonts - Avoid more than two font families - Do not use excessive all-capital text Use white text on blue backgrounds. Use deep navy text on white or light-colored content areas. CONTENT RULES Keep the presentation concise and visual. For each slide: - Use one main idea - Use a maximum of 3–5 short points - Avoid long paragraphs - Convert explanations into diagrams, matrices, formulas, comparisons, and examples - Explain mathematical terms in simple language - Use clear notation - Show calculation steps properly - Do not skip important steps in numerical examples - Do not overload slides with theory Where a topic requires detail, divide it across multiple slides instead of shrinking the text. HTML GENERATION REQUIREMENTS Generate the full presentation as HTML. Use: - HTML5 - Inline CSS only - A separate slide section for each slide - Fixed 16:9 slide dimensions - Consistent slide sizing - Flexbox or CSS Grid for layouts - SVG or CSS-based diagrams where suitable - Clean mathematical tables - Editable HTML text - Editable shapes and content blocks Do not use external stylesheets. Do not depend on external JavaScript libraries. Do not embed scripts that may break during conversion. Avoid unsupported CSS effects. Keep the HTML clean, properly structured, and easy to edit. Each slide should use a structure similar to: <section class="slide"> <!-- slide content --> </section> Use inline CSS inside the HTML file or directly on supported slide elements. Ensure: - No text is clipped - No objects overlap - No content extends outside the slide - All equations remain readable - Tables fit properly - Decorative elements do not cover content - Every slide renders correctly during PPTX or PDF export SLIDE-BY-SLIDE STRUCTURE Create approximately 14–16 slides. SLIDE 1 — COVER Title: Game Theory Subtitle: Strategic Decision-Making in Competitive Situations Small supporting line: Operational Research Design: - Bright royal-blue textured background - Large centered white title - Small subtitle above or below the main title - Large 3D chess knight, strategy token, or game piece partially entering from one corner - A second smaller contrasting object on the opposite side - Minimal composition - No unnecessary details - Premium opening-slide appearance SLIDE 2 — WHAT IS GAME THEORY? Explain Game Theory as a mathematical approach to studying situations where the outcome for one participant depends on the decisions made by others. Include three short points: - Studies strategic interaction - Compares possible decisions and outcomes - Helps identify the best strategy Visual: Show two players facing a strategy board with arrows connecting their possible decisions. Include one simple statement: “Your best decision may depend on what your opponent decides.” SLIDE 3 — WHERE GAME THEORY IS USED Show Game Theory applications through a clean visual composition. Possible applications: - Business competition - Pricing decisions - Advertising strategy - Military planning - Political campaigns - Negotiation - Sports - Technology and cybersecurity Use 4–6 applications only. Use relevant visual icons or miniature illustrations around a central strategy-board graphic. Avoid a standard icon grid. SLIDE 4 — BASIC ELEMENTS OF A GAME Explain the main components: - Players - Strategies - Payoffs - Rules - Outcomes Use a central circular or board-style diagram connecting all five components. Include simple definitions: Players: Decision-makers involved in the game Strategies: Possible actions available to each player Payoffs: Gain, loss, reward, or result from a decision SLIDE 5 — CHARACTERISTICS OF GAME THEORY Present the main characteristics clearly: - Two or more rational players - Each player has available strategies - Outcomes depend on combined decisions - Players may have conflicting interests - Every strategy combination produces a payoff - Each player attempts to maximize gain or minimize loss Use an asymmetrical layout. Place a 3D strategy-board illustration on one side and the concise points on the other. SLIDE 6 — CLASSIFICATION OF GAMES Introduce relevant classifications briefly: - Two-person game - n-person game - Zero-sum game - Non-zero-sum game - Pure-strategy game - Mixed-strategy game Give particular visual emphasis to: Two-Person Zero-Sum Game Use a split-screen layout showing two competitors. Show that one player’s gain is equal to the other player’s loss. Include: Player A gain = Player B loss SLIDE 7 — TWO-PERSON ZERO-SUM GAME Explain: - There are two players - The players have opposing interests - The total payoff remains zero - One player maximizes the payoff - The other player minimizes the payoff Use a visual example: Player A gains +5 Player B receives −5 Total payoff = 0 Use a balance-scale or two-sided scoreboard illustration. SLIDE 8 — PAYOFF MATRIX Introduce the structure of a payoff matrix. Create a clean editable matrix such as: Player B B1 B2 Player A A1 4 2 A2 1 3 Explain: - Rows represent Player A’s strategies - Columns represent Player B’s strategies - Each value represents the payoff to Player A - Player A tries to maximize - Player B tries to minimize Use color highlights carefully: - Highlight row labels in lavender - Highlight column labels in yellow - Use white for matrix cells - Use dark navy for numbers SLIDE 9 — MAXIMIN AND MINIMAX PRINCIPLES Explain both concepts visually. Maximin: Player A selects the maximum among the row minimum values. Minimax: Player B selects the minimum among the column maximum values. Show a small example matrix and visually mark: - Row minimums - Maximum of row minimums - Column maximums - Minimum of column maximums Use arrows and highlights instead of long text. Include the rule: If Maximin = Minimax, the game has a saddle point. SLIDE 10 — SADDLE POINT AND PURE STRATEGY Explain: A saddle point is an element that is: - The minimum value in its row - The maximum value in its column Show a clear matrix example with the saddle-point cell highlighted. Explain: - The value at the saddle point is the value of the game - The corresponding row and column are the optimal pure strategies - No probability calculation is required Add a small visual label: Pure Strategy = One definite strategy selected every time SLIDE 11 — PURE-STRATEGY NUMERICAL EXAMPLE Include one complete but simple numerical example. Use a 3×3 or 2×2 payoff matrix. Show the steps: 1. Find the minimum value in each row 2. Select the maximum row minimum 3. Find the maximum value in each column 4. Select the minimum column maximum 5. Compare Maximin and Minimax 6. Identify the saddle point 7. State the value of the game 8. State the optimal strategies Do not skip calculation steps. Use a large matrix and compact calculation callouts. SLIDE 12 — DOMINANCE PRINCIPLE Explain the dominance rule: A strategy can be removed when it is always worse than another available strategy. Cover: - Row dominance - Column dominance - Reduction of a large payoff matrix - Simplification before solving the game Explain carefully: For Player A, which maximizes: A row with consistently higher payoffs dominates a lower row. For Player B, which minimizes: A column with consistently lower payoffs dominates a higher column. Use a visual “eliminate strategy” effect with a strike-through or fading matrix row/column. SLIDE 13 — DOMINANCE NUMERICAL EXAMPLE Show a matrix where one row or column is clearly dominated. Present: - Original matrix - Dominated strategy - Reduced matrix - Final simplified game Use arrows between each stage. Keep the example large and easy to follow. Do not place too much explanatory text around the matrices. SLIDE 14 — MIXED STRATEGY Explain mixed strategy: A player does not always use one strategy. Instead, the player selects strategies according to calculated probabilities. Include: - Used when no saddle point exists - Each strategy receives a probability - Probabilities must total 1 - The aim is to keep the opponent indifferent between choices Show: Player A: Probability of A1 = p Probability of A2 = 1 − p Player B: Probability of B1 = q Probability of B2 = 1 − q Use a rotating strategy-wheel or probability-token illustration. SLIDE 15 — 2×2 ALGEBRAIC METHOD Use a general payoff matrix: B1 B2 A1 a b A2 c d Include the main formulas clearly. For Player A: p = (d − c) / (a + d − b − c) 1 − p = (a − b) / (a + d − b − c) For Player B: q = (d − b) / (a + d − b − c) 1 − q = (a − c) / (a + d − b − c) Value of the game: V = (ad − bc) / (a + d − b − c) Clearly label each formula. Add a small note: Use these formulas only when there is no saddle point and the reduced game is 2×2. SLIDE 16 — MIXED-STRATEGY NUMERICAL EXAMPLE Create one complete 2×2 example. Show: - Payoff matrix - Confirmation that no saddle point exists - Calculation of p - Calculation of 1 − p - Calculation of q - Calculation of 1 − q - Calculation of the value of the game - Final optimal strategies Use large, readable mathematical notation. Break the solution into clearly numbered stages. Use visual highlights for substituted values. SLIDE 17 — GRAPHICAL METHOD Explain when the graphical method is used: - 2×n games - m×2 games - No saddle point - Dominance cannot reduce the matrix directly to 2×2 Show a clean graph with: - Horizontal probability axis from 0 to 1 - Payoff lines for different strategies - Lower envelope or upper envelope - Optimal intersection point - Value of the game Explain briefly: For a 2×n game: Player A uses two strategies, and payoff lines are plotted against probability p. For an m×2 game: Player B uses two strategies, and the appropriate envelope is identified. Do not make the graph decorative. It must be mathematically meaningful. SLIDE 18 — GAME THEORY SOLUTION FLOW Create a visual decision flowchart: Start with payoff matrix ↓ Check for saddle point If yes: Use pure strategy If no: Check dominance ↓ Reduce the matrix ↓ If reduced to 2×2: Use algebraic method If 2×n or m×2: Use graphical method Use a clean strategy-road or branching-game-board layout rather than a generic corporate flowchart. SLIDE 19 — COMMON EXAM MISTAKES Include concise mistakes: - Confusing row minima with row maxima - Forgetting that Player A maximizes - Forgetting that Player B minimizes - Applying mixed strategy before checking the saddle point - Removing the wrong dominated strategy - Using incorrect probability formulas - Forgetting that probabilities must sum to 1 - Not stating the value of the game Use warning markers carefully. Keep the slide clean and not overly negative. SLIDE 20 — QUICK REVISION SUMMARY Create a one-slide revision map containing: - Game Theory studies strategic conflict - Payoff matrix represents outcomes - Maximin is used by Player A - Minimax is used by Player B - Equal Maximin and Minimax means saddle point - Saddle point gives a pure strategy - No saddle point may require dominance or mixed strategy - Algebraic method solves 2×2 games - Graphical method solves 2×n or m×2 games Use a central game-board illustration with the revision points positioned around it. SLIDE 21 — PRACTICE QUESTIONS Include a balanced set of questions: Theory: 1. Define Game Theory. 2. Explain the characteristics of a two-person zero-sum game. 3. Define pure and mixed strategies. 4. Explain the dominance principle. 5. Define the saddle point and value of a game. Numerical: 1. Solve a game using Maximin and Minimax. 2. Reduce a matrix using dominance. 3. Solve a 2×2 game using the algebraic method. 4. Solve a 2×n or m×2 game using the graphical method. Keep the questions concise.
