How to visually present a simultaneous game with continuous strategies I've been asked to model a game where two players have an infinite choice of strategies and move simultaneously. 

The question asks to present the game in game table or extensive form, and to justify that choice. I understand that a game table wouldn't work, given the infinite strategies.

I understand the diagram below to be a game with continuous strategies and sequential moves. Is there any way to adapt it to show simultaneous moves?
This thread has some game trees. In case you want put them on your documents, you can do like this (using LaTeX with istgame package):



\documentclass{standalone}

\usepackage{istgame}

\begin{document}

\begin{istgame}[font=\scriptsize]
\setistgrowdirection{east}
\cntmdistance{20mm}{20mm}
\cntmAistb{q_1=0}[at end,below]{q_1=1,000}[at end,above]
\istrootcntmA(0){1}
  \istbA[draw=none]
  \endist
\cntmAistb{q_2=0}[at end,below]{q_2=1,000}[at end,above]
\istrootcntmA(1)(0-1)&lt;[xshift=3pt]90&gt;{2}
  \istbA[draw=none]{}{\pi_1,\pi_2}
  \endist
\end{istgame}

\end{document}




\documentclass{standalone}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{istgame}

\begin{istgame}[scale=1.5,font=\scriptsize]

  \istbA(.977)[-&gt;,thick]{q_2}[r]
    {\vpay{\pi_1(q_1,q_2)\\\pi_2(q_1,q_2)}}

\end{istgame}
