Machine-learning-melee

An attempt at making an AI for Super Smash Bros. Melee using Q-learning

Installing Libmelee on Linux ubuntu 18.04

1. First of all install CMake:

   Download cmake-3.13.0-rc1.tar.gz from: https://cmake.org/download/

   Run the following commands in terminal:

    cd \folder\which\contains\the\.tar.gz\filename
    
    tar xvzf PACKAGENAME.tar.gz
    
    ./configure
    
    make
    
    sudo make install
   

2. Install dolphin:

   Run the following commands in terminal:

    git clone --single-branch -b memorywatcher https://github.com/altf4/dolphin.git
    
    cd \path\to\dolphin\folder\just\cloned
    
    mkdir build
    
    cd build
    
    cmake ..
    
    make
    
    sudo make install
   

3. Legally acquire an ISO picture of Melee v1.02 NTSC.

4. Clone this repository

5. Run q_learning.py to start the learning!

In order to test the trained agent against a random agent, make a copy of your Q table with a different name, and input that name into the "stored_filename" variable in q_table_benchmarking.py, and start the script.

In order to graph the data generated under the learning, set the parameter "stored_filename" in the call to show_all() to the name of the "stored_filename" variable used in the learning process, and start the script
