Welcome to the Saltie wiki!

This documentation might see other changes in the near future, anyways here is Saltie's Wiki For Ya ;).

Ideology, and Goals

Our purpose is to make an open-source framework to enable the creation of Rocket League bots using machine learning. Feel free to download the repository and test it yourself, but never republish it without permission of the owner! This framework uses the features of RLBot to get its inputs and give its outputs. As there is no consensus as to the best way to train a machine learning bot for Rocket League, multiple avenues are currently being explored.

On this wiki you can find info about the framework, instructions for how to set up your own bot, some information about the inputs from the bot, and later on probably a lot more!

How our bot learns

This bot mainly learns through mimicry. It learns to play Rocket League by learning to output the same controls as other bots. Thus, we record games where other bots play against each other to obtain sufficient training data. Recording games also makes the data easier to manipulate (such as if new features were made based on existing ones). Instead of having one game running in realtime, Saltie trains on multiple games simultaneously, hugely improving its learning capacities.

If you want to train in a reinforcement manner, Saltie's framework provides a good start for integration with RLbot. Supervised learning is the current priority because it gives us a baseline, from which the bot can start improving itself.

To read this wiki, (inXS212) recommend starting from the Agents_doc, then ModelHolder_doc, (still in development)

Brief root presentation

The agents folder contains bots that uses different types of configurations. All the code used by the Saltie bots are stored in the example folder.

We developed a Framework in the framework folder, for the bots to base their code onto, unifying the examples would allow for simpler management.

The swarm_trainer folder contains a trainer that is made for training a model from multiple data stream(a swarm of agent).

The test folder is used by the latest developers to experiment with recent changes.

The trainer folder contains trainers that trains a model on a data set.

Everything else is related to RLBot, give it a look.
