OVERVIEW

Activity Overview:

In this section, you will learn how to create a custom environment in the Godot Game Engine and then implement an AI controller that learns to play with Deep Reinforcement Learning. The example game we create today is simple, but shows off many of the features of the Godot Engine and the Godot RL Agents library. You can then dive into the examples for more complex environments and behaviors.

ASSESSMENT PRE/POST-TEST

Were you able to get godot_rl agents working with ringpong?

OBJECTIVES

Install godot_rl agents, adjust parameters, train models

CATCH/HOOK

Godot Engine is a feature-packed, cross-platform game engine designed to create 2D and 3D games from a unified interface. It provides a comprehensive set of common tools, so users can focus on making games without having to reinvent the wheel. Games can be exported in one click to a number of platforms, including the major desktop platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows) as well as mobile (Android, iOS) and web-based (HTML5) platforms.

ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS

Full configuration of rl setup, relatively involved setup that even includes bug fixes.
