## Standalone environment version

- Find `gym-starcraft` at this repository: [apsdehal/gym-starcraft](https://github.com/apsdehal/gym-starcraft)
- Find `ic3net-envs` at this repository: [apsdehal/ic3net-envs](https://github.com/apsdehal/ic3net-envs)

## Installation

First, clone the repo and install ic3net-envs which contains implementation for Predator-Prey and Traffic-Junction

```
git clone https://github.com/IC3Net/IC3Net
cd IC3Net/ic3net-envs
python setup.py develop
```

**Optional**: If you want to run experiments on StarCraft, install the `gym-starcraft` package included in this package. Follow the instructions provided in README inside that packages.

Next, we need to install dependencies for IC3Net including PyTorch. For doing that run:

```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Running

Once everything is installed, we can run the using these example commands

Note: We performed our experiments on `nprocesses` set to 16, you can change it according to your machine, but the plots may vary.

Note: Use `OMP_NUM_THREADS=1` to limit the number of threads spawned
