This is PRISM-games, an extension of the PRISM model checker for verification and strategy synthesis for stochastic multi-player games.
Up-to-date installation instructions can be found here:

Included in this release is a manual for the version of PRISM on which PRISM-games is based.

PRISM-games uses the CUDD (Colorado University Decision Diagram) library of Fabio Somenzi, which is freely available. For more information about this library, see:

PRISM-games also uses various other libraries (mainly to be found in the lib directory). For details of those, and for links to source where we distribute only binaries, see:

PRISM was created and is still actively maintained by:
- Dave Parker (University of Oxford)
- Gethin Norman (University of Glasgow)
- Marta Kwiatkowska (University of Oxford)
Development of the tool is currently led from Oxford by Dave Parker.
