Restart game from agent

[Anselmo Peñas]

I'm using the Java agent provided by the organisation. Is there any command to stop and restart the game? We need this to implementing the searching. Inside the game I see you can send a RESTART command but I don't know if all games have this option and, in any case, RESTART command doesn't work (at least in monkey and bananas). I would appreciate some advice on this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Anselmo,

Sorry that this took a while to get back to! Could you clarify whether this searching is simulation within an Agent (e.g. MCTS) or to train an agent on multiple runs (e.g. RL) as the response may be slightly different.

Thanks,

Tim

I was thinking about an agent on multiple runs. But I could be also interested in the MCTS option.

Hi Anselmo,

Just to let you know that I am currently attempting to hard code reset and quit into our z-machine which should help with your issue. I'll let you know once I'm done.

Kind regards,

Tim

Hi Anselmo,

Quick update, you can now quit, restart and soft-restart (e.g. use the same agent in a restart) in both Java and IO implementations. Check out the home page of the repository for more details and please let me know if you find any bugs!

Kind regards,

Tim

Many thanks, Tim!
