You might need to install Swig before being able to use the python
libraries.
sudo pacman -S swigsudo apt install swigYou need to have OpenAI Gym and Keras installed, and wheel is
needed as a dependency.
pip install wheel gym[all] Keras
Run python train_agent.py weightfile.h5 to train an agent. Ifweightfile.h5 already exists, the training will continue from the
last point, otherwise a new training run will be started and the
progress saved to a new weights file.
A logfile with the training progress will be written to weightfile.h5.log.
If you do not want to show the game screen (to speed up training), set
the render variable in the script to False
The repository also provides start_weights.h5 containing the randomly
initialized weights that were used to train the trained_weights.h5.
Although I did not have any problems with the current iteration of the
training procedure, the method can be very sensitive to the initial
weights and it might happen that your agent does not learn. For those
cases make a copy of start_weights.h5 to have the same starting point
I had during training.
You can run a game in real time with a weights file using python
use_agent.py weightsfile.h5 To run the agent with the trained weights
provided run python use_agent.py trained_weights.h5. Ifuse_agent.py is given a second argument it will save each frame as a.png file to the media directory using the second argument as a
prefix for the filename.
