The source code of all examples described in this section is available in our DIAMBRA Agents repository.
We highly recommend using virtual environments to isolate your python installs, especially to avoid conflicts in dependencies. In what follows we use Conda but any other tool should work too.
Create and activate a new dedicated virtual environment:
conda create -n diambra-arena-ray python=3.8
conda activate diambra-arena-ray
Install DIAMBRA Arena with Ray RLlib interface:
pip install diambra-arena[ray-rllib]
This should be enough to prepare your system to execute the following examples. You can refer to the official Ray RLlib documentation or reach out on our Discord server for specific needs.
All the examples presented below are available here: DIAMBRA Agents - Ray RLlib. They have been created following the high level approach found on Ray RLlib examples page and their related repository collection, thus allowing to easily extend them and to understand how they interface with the different components.
These examples only aims at demonstrating the core functionalities and high level aspects, they will not generate well performing agents, even if the training time is extended to cover a large number of training steps. The user will need to build upon them, exploring aspects like: policy network architecture, algorithm hyperparameter tuning, observation space tweaking, rewards wrapping and other similar ones.
DIAMBRA Arena native interface with Ray RLlib covers a wide range of use cases, automating handling of key things like parallelization. In the majority of cases it will be sufficient for users to directly import and use it, with no need for additional customization.
For the interface low level details, users can review the correspondent source code here.
This example demonstrates how to:
It uses the PPO algorithm and, for demonstration purposes, the algorithm is trained for only 200 steps, so the resulting agent will be far from optimal.

In addition to what seen in the previous example, this one demonstrates how to:
The same conditions of the previous example for algorithm, policy and training steps are used in this one too.

How to run it:

In addition to what seen in previous examples, this one demonstrates how to:
This example runs multiple environments. In order to properly execute it, the user needs to specify the correct number of environments instances to be created via DIAMBRA CLI when running the script. In particular, in this case, 6 different instances are needed:

# Special evaluation config. Keys specified here will override
# the same keys in the main config, but only for evaluation.

# Render the env while evaluating.
# Note that this will always only render the 1st RolloutWorker's
# env and only the 1st sub-env in a vectorized env.

How to run it:
diambra run -s=6 python parallel_envs.py
In addition to what seen in previous examples, this one demonstrates how to:
The main thing to note in this example is that the library does not have constraints on dictionary observation spaces, being able to handle nested ones too.
The policy network is automatically generated, properly handling different types of inputs. Model architecture is then printed to the console output, allowing to clearly identify all the different contributions.

Finally, after the agent training is completed, besides running it locally in your own machine, you may want to submit it to our Competition Platform! To do so, you can use the following script that provides a ready to use, flexible example that can accommodate different models, games and settings.
To submit your trained agent to our platform, compete for the first leaderboard positions, and unlock our achievements, follow the simple steps described in the “How to Submit an Agent” section.
