Completely agree that adding something like the "League" used by AlphaStar would be one of the top priorities if you wanted to push this project further. I don't think CodeCraft is sufficiently complex to really allow for several very distinct strategies in the same way as StarCraft II, but I would still expect training against a larger pool of more diverse agents to increase robustness quite a bit.
- CyberRage 6y agoWhat amazes me at the end of the day is that brute-forcing seem to do much better than I initially thought it would do. Trying random stuff just sounds stupid but with enough compute and data, I guess it could overpower smart creatures like us. I agree that CodeCraft is vastly simpler than StarCraft but the idea is the same. just try random stuff(sometimes with better logic behind it) until something works and then optimize it to perfection.
- hntrader 6y agoThat randomness has to be massively constrained, though. Well over 99.9 percent of inputs are guaranteed to lead to bad results. For example if we're randomly way pointing a drone, we're almost guaranteed not to be sending it somewhere useful.
