Collaboration by the tigers

The second experiment that I implemented was designed to make the tigers' lives more complicated and encourage collaboration between them. The training and play code are the same; the only difference is in the MAgent environment's configuration. I took the double_attack configuration file from MAgent (https://github.com/geek-ai/MAgent/blob/master/python/magent/builtin/config/double_attack.py) and tweaked it to add the reward of 0.1 after every step for both tigers and deer. The following is the modified function config_double_attack() from Chapter25/lib/data.py:

def config_double_attack(map_size):
    gw = magent.gridworld
    cfg = gw.Config()
    cfg.set({"map_width": map_size, "map_height": map_size})
    cfg.set({"embedding_size": 10})

We create the configuration object and set the map dimensions. The embedding size is the dimensionality of the minimap, which is not enabled in this configuration...

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
