Learn Unity ML-Agents - Fundamentals of Unity Machine Learning

This is the code repository for Learn Unity ML-Agents – Fundamentals of Unity Machine Learning, published by Packt.

Incorporate new powerful ML algorithms such as Deep Reinforcement Learning for games

What is this book about?

Unity Machine Learning agents allow researchers and developers to create games and simulations using the Unity Editor, which serves as an environment where intelligent agents can be trained with machine learning methods through a simple-to-use Python API.

This book covers the following exciting features: <First 5 What you'll learn points>

Develop Reinforcement and Deep Reinforcement Learning for games.
Understand complex and advanced concepts of reinforcement learning and neural networks
Explore various training strategies for cooperative and competitive agent development
Adapt the basic script components of Academy, Agent, and Brain to be used with Q Learning.
Enhance the Q Learning model with improved training strategies such as Greedy-Epsilon exploration

Instructions and Navigations

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.

The code will look like the following:

void Defend()
      {
        currentAction = "Defend";
        nextAction = Time.timeSinceLevelLoad + (25 / MaxSpeed);
      }

Following is what you need for this book: This book is intended for developers with an interest in using Machine learning algorithms to develop better games and simulations with Unity. The reader will be required to have a working knowledge of C# and a basic understanding of Python.

With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-6).
