Welcome to the exciting world of reinforcement learning! In this blog, we will explore how to utilize the powerful Unity ML-Agents Library to train a PPO (Proximal Policy Optimization) agent to play a game called Huggy. Armed with the right tools and instructions, you can create your own intelligent agent that learns to navigate challenges through trial and error.

Understanding PPO and Unity ML-Agents

PPO is like a resourceful student who learns from their mistakes, refining their strategies to overcome obstacles. In the context of gaming, your agent interacts with the environment (the game) and adjusts its actions based on rewards and penalties. The Unity ML-Agents library provides the framework to simplify this process, allowing developers and enthusiasts to train agents without intricate machinery. Now, let’s delve into how to put this into practice.

Step-by-Step Guide to Usage

Follow these simple steps to train and watch your PPO agent play Huggy:

1. Resume the Training

To continue training your PPO agent, use the following command:

mlagents-learn your_configuration_file_path.yaml --run-id=run_id --resume

In this command:

• your_configuration_file_path.yaml: Replace this with the path to your specific configuration file.
• run_id: Enter a unique identifier for your training session.

2. Watch Your Agent Play

Once your agent is trained, you can watch it play directly in your browser. Here’s how:

1. Visit this Hugging Face link.
2. Step 1: Input your model ID: ChechkovEugeneppo-Huggy.
3. Step 2: Select the necessary .nn or .onnx file from your trained models.
4. Finally, click on Watch the agent play.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter any issues during the training or while watching your agent, here are some troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that you have the latest version of Unity ML-Agents installed.
• Verify that you’re using the correct file paths and parameters in the command line.
• Check the console for error messages that may provide insights on what went wrong.
