GigaLearnCPP

---

GigaLearn is an even-faster C++ machine learning framework for Rocket League bots.

Features

Basic Features (Shared With Most Frameworks):

• Fast PPO implementation
• Configurable model layer sizes
• Checkpoint saving/loading
• Working example
• Return standardization and obs standardization support
• Built-in visualization support
• Easy custom metrics suppport

Unique Learning Features:

• Extremely fast monolithic single-process inference model
• Complete and proper action masking
• Built-in shared layers support (enabled by default)
• Built-in configurable ELO-based skill tracking system
• Configurable model activation functions
• Configurable model optimizers
• Configurable model layer norm (recommended)
• Policy version saving system (required if using the skill tracker)
• Built-in reward logging

Unique Environment/State Features:

• Access to previous states (e.g. player.prev->pos)
• Simpler access to previous actions, final bools
• Inherented access to all CarState and BallState fields (e.g. player.isFlipping)
• No more duplicate state fields
• Simpler access to current state events (e.g. if (player.eventState.shot) ...)
• User-led setup of arenas and cars during environment creation
• RocketSim-based state setting (you are given the arena to state-set)
• Configurable action delay

*Coming Soon:

• Training against older versions

Installation

There's no installation guide for now as I plan to rework several aspects of the library to make it easier to install.

Bringing In Rewards/Obs Builders/Etc. from RLGymPPO_CPP

State changes:

• PlayerData -> Player
• player.phys -> player.
• player.carState -> player
• state.ballState -> state.ball

Reward changes:

• GetReward(const PlayerData& player, const GameState& state, const Action& prevAction) -> GetReward(const Player& player, const GameState& state, bool isFinal) override
• prevAction (argument) -> player.prevAction
• GetFinalReward() -> isFinal (argument)

Metrics:

• metrics.AccumAvg(), metrics.GetAvg() -> report.AddAvg()

Learner config:

• cfg.numThreads, cfg.numGamesPerThread -> cfg.numGames
• cfg.ppo.policyLayerSizes -> cfg.ppo.policy.layerSizes
• cfg.ppo.criticLayerSizes -> cfg.ppo.critic.layerSizes
• cfg.expBufferSize -> (experience buffer removed)
