Rust Game Collection with Reninforcement Learning gym environments

Zarena

🦀 Rust Game Collection with Reninforcement Learning gym environments. This library aims to serve the same purpose as OpenSpiel, except in Rust to make it easier to use & maintain. The current games are gato, blackjack, chess & poker texas hold'em. All of these additionally support Web Assembly. You can play gato & chess against our Artificial Intelligence at Zeti Games

Configurations

Depending on the cargo file you want. You must change your cargo.toml to match that build.

Cargo.py.toml -> Python Build Cargo.rs.toml -> Development Build Cargo.wa.toml -> Web Assembly Build Cargo.toml -> The actual file that Rust will build on. Copy from py/rs/wa to this file.

Commands

If you don't have Rust, no worries. Download Rust for Linux or Windows Subsystem. If you need more help.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Download the C compiler

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential

Install poetry

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python -

Install Maturin via Poetry

poetry install

Build the Maturin Develop Build

poetry run maturin develop

Build the Maturin Test Build

poetry run maturin build

Build the Maturin Production Build. The Python Wheel & source distribution.

poetry run maturin build --release

Build the Web Assembly file

wasm-pack build --target web -- --features wasm

Usage

You can import the Python classes directly, or create pre-defined environments with gym in this case it is also necessary to import the class:

# import gym to use training environments
import gym
# from zarena import the training environment of your choice, for: 
# option 1.- use the python class directly 
# option 2.- register the environment in gym and use it with gym.make(environment_name)
from zarena import gym_chess

env = gym_chess.ChessEnv() # Option 1
env = gym.make('ChessEnv-v3') # Option 2

# reset the environment and get the initial state observation
observation = env.reset()

# obtain legal actions
actions = env.legal_actions()

# select action according to a criterion, in this case random
action = random.choice(actions)

# pass it to the env and get the next state observation, reward, if the game is over and environment information
observation, reward, done, info = env.step(action)

# get the player to play
env.to_play()

# properly close the game
env.close()

# display the game ovservation
env.render()

Environments id

• Tictactoe: TictactoeR-v2
• Chess: ChessEnv-v3
• Blackjack: BlackjackR-v1
• Poker: PokerR-v1

Testing

Run all the tests with pytest.

Code linting and fixing

Python code is formatted with black.

Rust code is formatted with cargo fmt.

Building the Rust code

The environment uses a chess engine implemented in Rust that uses PyO3 Maturin to bind to the Python interpreter. Rust is an amazing compiled language and this project holds 2 configurations:

• Cargo.py.toml is used to build the library into a Python module with maturin
• Cargo.rs.toml is used to build directly with cargo in Rust to access the library in the main.rs script for development
• Cargo.wa.toml is used to build to build for Javascript with Web Assembly. The games can be played via Web Assembly on Zeti's website https://zeti.ai

Note: we haven't found a way to specify the Cargo toml file to either process, so copy the contents of the config you want to use into Cargo.toml to make it work.

Game of Gato

The game of Xs & Os

API

Initialize environment

>>> env = BlackjackEnv(n_players=1)

• n_players: specify the number of players 2<=n_players<=7 (default: 1)

Set actions

>>> env.step(action)

• action: mark a position, could be 0<=action<=8

> 0 | 1 | 2 
> 3 | 4 | 5 
> 6 | 7 | 8 

Available opponents

• random
• expert

Notes:

Tests not implemented yet.

Blackjack

API

Initialize environment

>>> env = BlackjackEnv(n_players=1)

• n_players: specify the number of players 2<=n_players<=7 (default: 1)

Set actions

>>> env.step(action)

• action: can be
  • 0 -> stand
  • 1 -> HIT
  • 2 -> double down
  • 3 -> pull apart (currently disabled)

Notes:

Tests not implemented yet.

Chess

See the chess board and moves

Visualise the current state of the chess game:

env.render()

    -------------------------
 8 |  ♖  ♘  ♗  ♕  ♔  ♗  ♘  ♖ |
 7 |  ♙  ♙  ♙  ♙  ♙  ♙  ♙  ♙ |
 6 |  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . |
 5 |  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . |
 4 |  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . |
 3 |  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  . |
 2 |  ♟  ♟  ♟  ♟  ♟  ♟  ♟  ♟ |
 1 |  ♜  ♞  ♝  ♛  ♚  ♝  ♞  ♜ |
    -------------------------
      a  b  c  d  e  f  g  h

You can also visualise multiple moves:

>>> moves = env.possible_moves
>>> env.render_moves(moves[10:12] + moves[16:18])

API

Initialize environment

>>> env = ChessEnv(player_color="WHITE", opponent="random", log=True, initial_state=DEFAULT_BOARD)

• opponent: can be "random", "none" or a function. Tells the environment whether to use a bot that picks a random move, play against self or use a specific bot policy (default: "random")
• log: True or False, specifies whether to log every move and render every new state (default: True)
• initial_state: initial board positions, the default value is the default chess starting board. You can specify a custom board. View scripts gym_chess/test/ for some examples
• player_color: "WHITE" or "BLACK", only useful if playing against a bot (default: "WHITE")

>>> env.get_possible_moves(state=state, player="WHITE", attack=False)

This method will calculate the possible moves. By default they are calculated at the current state for the current player (state.current_player).

• state: (optional) state for which to calculate the moves
• player: (optional) "WHITE" or "BLACK", specifies the player

Move specification:

Moves are encoded as either:

• a tuple of coordinates ((from_x, from_y), (to_x, to_y))
• or a string e.g. "CASTLE_KING_SIDE_WHITE", "CASTLE_QUEEN_SIDE_BLACK", "RESIGN"

Moves are pre-calculated for every new state and stored in possible_moves.

Get State

>>> print(env.state['board'])

[[-3, -5, -4, -2, -1, -4, -5, -3],
 [-6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
 [6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6],
 [3, 5, 4, 2, 1, 4, 5, 3]]

Every integer represents a piece. Positive pieces are white and negative ones are black.

Piece IDs are stored in constants that can be imported.

from gym_chess.envs.chess import (
    KING_ID,
    QUEEN_ID,
    ROOK_ID,
    BISHOP_ID,
    KNIGHT_ID,
    PAWN_ID,
)

The schema is:

EMPTY_SQUARE_ID = 0
KING_ID = 1
QUEEN_ID = 2
ROOK_ID = 3
BISHOP_ID = 4
KNIGHT_ID = 5
PAWN_ID = 6

Additional information can be found in other attributes of the environment:

env.current_player
env.white_king_castle_possible
env.white_queen_castle_possible
env.black_king_castle_possible
env.black_queen_castle_possible
env.white_king_on_the_board
env.black_king_on_the_board

Notes:

En-passant has not been implemented yet.

Poker

API

Initialize environment

>>> env = PokerEnv(n_players=2, infinite_game=True)

• n_players: specify the number of players 2<=n_players<=9 (default: 2)
• infinite_game: True or False, specify if players get their starting credit back after each round (default: True)

Set actions

>>> env.step(action)

• action: can be
  • 0 -> small blind
  • 1 -> big blind
  • 2 -> fold
  • 3 -> check
  • 4 -> bet
  • 5 -> call
  • 6 -> raise to 25
  • 7 -> raise to 50
  • 8 -> raise to 100
  • 9 -> raise to 500
  • 10 -> raise to 1000
  • 11 -> all in

Tests not implemented yet.
