Is there an AI playable RTS ? (or a turn based one)

Hi, i’ve done plenty of RL projects. AlphaZero (checkers), self driving racecar with SAC, some classic gymnasium environment with DQN. The problem is, always, the environment.

• Playing checkers ? Need to implement checkers environment
• racecar ? need to write a car simulator (really difficult actually)
• and so on

I’d love to give a try to a (mini) RTS, like AlphaStar, but i’m not google and i don’t have a custom version of SC2 …

MicroRTS is dead and in java.

And while implementing a RTS, or a turn based one, may look “simple enough”, i already know it will be an endless fight against the AI finding meta/flaw/bug in the game and me trying to fix the game balance. I’m not a RTS player and it’s notoriously difficult to make a properly balanced game.

I’m open to both discrete or continuous action space.

Vision based is an option as well but it’s MUCH slower to train so it’s not optimal. I have limited ressource (it’s just a hobby at home).

Another possibility is also a proven “rulebook” for a simple RTS and i just have to follow it to create the game. Not optimal (implementation bug is still possible) but doable.

Thank you.
