This repo includes implementation of Double Deep Q Network (DDQN), Dueling DDQN, Deep Recurrent Q Network (DRQN) with LSTM, REINFORCE, Advantage Actor Critic (A2C), A2C with LSTM, and C51 DDQN (Distribution Bellman). All implementations are tested on VizDoom Defend the Center scenario, which is a 3D partially observable environment.
For more details on the implementation, you can check out my blog post at https://flyyufelix.github.io/2017/10/12/dqn-vs-pg.html.
Below is the performance chart of 20,000 episodes of DDQN, REINFORCE, and A2C running on Defend the Center. Y-axis is the average number of kills (moving average over 50 episodes).
The performance chart of 15,000 episodes C51 DDQN and DDQN running on Defend the Center.
First follow this instruction to install VizDoom. If you use python, you can simply do pip install:
$ pip install vizdoom
Second, clone ViZDoom to your machine, copy the python files provided in this repo over to examples/python.
To test if the environment is working, run
$ cd examples/python
$ python ddqn.py
You should see some printouts indicating that the DDQN is running successfully. Errors would be thrown otherwise.
