This repository contains an implementation of Adavantage async Actor-Critic (A3C) in PyTorch based on the original paper by the authors and the PyTorch implementation by Ilya Kostrikov.

A3C is the state-of-art Deep Reinforcement Learning method.

Dependencies

• Python 2.7
• PyTorch
• gym (OpenAI)
• universe (OpenAI)
• opencv (for env state processing)
• visdom (for visualization)

Training

./train_lstm.sh

Test wigh trained weight after 169000 updates for PongDeterminisitc-v3.

./test_lstm.sh 169000

A test result video is available.
