Gym-MicroRTS

This repo contains the source code for the gym wrapper of MicroRTS authored by Santiago Ontañón.

Get Started

# Make sure you have Java 8.0+ installed
$ pip install gym_microrts --upgrade

And run either the hello_world.py referenced above or the following file

import gym
import gym_microrts

env = gym.make("MicrortsMining-v1")
env.reset()
for _ in range(10000):
    env.render()
    env.step(env.action_space.sample())
env.close()

Environment Specification

Here is a description of gym-microrts's observation and action space:

• Observation Space. Given a map of size h x w, the observation is a tensor of shape (h, w, n_f), where n_f is a number of feature planes that have binary values. The observation space used in this paper uses 27 feature planes as shown in the following table. A feature plane can be thought of as a concatenation of multiple one-hot encoded features. As an example, if there is a worker with hit points equal to 1, not carrying any resources, owner being Player 1, and currently not executing any actions, then the one-hot encoding features will look like the following:

  [0,1,0,0,0], [1,0,0,0,0], [1,0,0], [0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0], [1,0,0,0,0,0]

  The 27 values of each feature plane for the position in the map of such worker will thus be:

  [0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0]

• Action Space. Given a map of size h x w, the action is an 8-dimensional vector of discrete values as specified in the following table. The first component of the action vector represents the unit in the map to issue actions to, the second is the action type, and the rest of components represent the different parameters different action types can take. Depending on which action type is selected, the game engine will use the corresponding parameters to execute the action. As an example, if the RL agent issues a move south action to the worker at $x=3, y=2$ in a 10x10 map, the action will be encoded in the following way:

  [3+2*10,1,2,0,0,0,0,0 ]

Preset Envs:

Gym-microrts comes with preset environments for common tasks as well as engaging the full game. Feel free to check out the following benchmark:

• Gym-microrts V1 Benchmark
• Gym-microrts V2 Benchmark
• Gym-microrts V3 Benchmark

Below are the difference between the versioned environments

	use frame skipping	complete invalid action masking	issuing actions to all units simultaneously	map size
v1	frame skip = 9	only partial mask on source unit selection	no	10x10
v2	no	yes	yes	10x10
v3	no	yes	yes	16x16
