Modify model.py from NCHW to NHWC, 针对windows + tensorflow环境仅支持NHWC顺序的问题进行了修复
Modify main.py @ line 2: 现在无需修改pysc2/run_config/init.py, 在入口函数加载pysc2之前定义全局flags属性即可

适配环境（测试通过，可正常训练\预测）

Python 3.5.2
Tensorflow 1.9.0
PySC2 1.2.0

(D)RL Agent For PySC2 Environment

Introduction

Aim of this project is two-fold:

a.) Reproduce baseline DeepMind results by implementing RL agent (A2C) with neural network model architecture as close as possible to what is described in [1]. This includes embedding categorical (spatial-)features into continuous space with 1x1 convolution and multi-head policy, supporting actions with variable arguments (both spatial and non-spatial).

b.) Improve the results and/or sample efficiency of the baseline solution. Either with alternative algorithms (such as PPO [2]), using reduced set of features (unified across all mini-games) or alternative approaches, such as HRL [3] or Auxiliary Tasks [4].

A video of the trained agent on all minigames can be seen here: https://youtu.be/gEyBzcPU5-w

Running

To train an agent, execute python main.py --envs=1 --map=MoveToBeacon.
To resume training from last checkpoint, specify --restore flag
To run in inference mode, specify --test flag
To change number of rendered environments, specify --render= flag
To change state/action space, specify path to a json config with --cfg_path=. The configuration with reduced feature space used to achieve some of the results above is:

{
  "feats": {
    "screen": ["visibility_map", "player_relative", "unit_type", "selected", "unit_hit_points_ratio", "unit_density"],
    "minimap": ["visibility_map", "camera", "player_relative", "selected"],
    "non_spatial": ["player", "available_actions"]
  }
}

Requirements

Python 3.x
Tensorflow >= 1.3
PySC2 1.2 with action spec fix

Good GPU and CPU are recommended, especially for full state/action space.

Results

These results are gathered with full feature / action config on 32 agents x 16 n-steps.

Learning Curves

Below are screenshots of TensorBoard views of agents learning curves for each minigame. Each curve represents a different random seed run. Here y-axis represents episode cumulative score and x-axis - number of updates. Each update contains 512 samples (32 agents x 16 n-steps).

Related Work

Authors of xhujoy/pysc2-agents and pekaalto/sc2aibot were the first to attempt replicating [1] and their implementations were used as a general inspiration during development of this project, however their aim was more towards replicating results than architecture, missing key aspects, such as full feature and action space support. Authors of simonmeister/pysc2-rl-agents also aim to replicate both results and architecture, though their final goals seem to be in another direction. Their policy implementation was used as a loose reference for this project.
