Writing docstrings

The project takes pride in its documentation for the strategies and its corresponding bibliography. The docstring is a string which describes a method, module or class. The docstrings help the user in understanding the working of the strategy and the source of the strategy. The docstring must be written in the following way, i.e.:

 """This is a docstring.

It can be written over multiple lines.

"""

Sections

The Sections of the docstring are:

1. Working of the strategy

   A brief summary on how the strategy works, E.g.:

   class TitForTat(Player):
   """
   A player starts by cooperating and then mimics the
   previous action of the opponent.
   """
   

2. Bibliography/Source of the strategy

   A section to mention the source of the strategy or the paper from which the strategy was taken. The section must start with the Names section. For E.g.:

   class TitForTat(Player):
   """
   A player starts by cooperating and then mimics the
   previous action of the opponent.
   
   Names:
   
   - Rapoport's strategy: [Axelrod1980]_
   - TitForTat: [Axelrod1980]_
   """
   

   Here, the info written under the Names section tells about the source of the TitforTat strategy. [Axelrod1980]_ corresponds to the bibliographic item in docs/reference/bibliography.rst. If you are using a source that is not in the bibliography please add it.
