The Gamesman's Toolkit

Tired of all those hand calculations? Of converting to canonical forms? Of calculating means and temperatures? Of wondering if you’ve goofed? Wanted to play with the overheating operator, but don’t have any patience? The Gamesman’s Toolkit, written in C under UNIX, implements virtually all of the material in finite combinatorial game theory. It is invaluable in analyzing games, and in generating and testing hypotheses. Several of the results presented at the 1994 Combinatorial Games Workshop were discovered using this program. The Gamesman’s Toolkit is useful and fun. This paper is an overview of its features.
