How to start?

Prerequisites

We assume you know how ViZDoom works. If not, please read the tutorial.

What you should do

1. Install Docker (the virtualization software) and nvidia-docker (if you want to use CUDA).
2. Clone CIG2017 competition repository from github.
3. Build the host (./build.sh host).
4. Build some agents e.g. ./build.sh random; ./build.sh f1
5. Run the host for a single player (./run.sh host -p 1 --watch) (display is required for --watch)
6. Run an agent (./run.sh random)
7. If there are no errors it most probably works. If you used --watch you can watch the game as an invisible, invincible, flying spectator.
8. Now to build your own agent you should probably analyze random, f1 and intelact. There is also a chance that you'll want to train with builtin bots in non-network mode. In that case you should look at no_host example which enables you to spawn a deathmatch with bots.
