• cd into the od_mstar3 folder.
• python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace
• Check by going back to the root of the git folder, running python3 and "import cpp_mstar"

• Pick appropriate number of meta agents via variables NUM_META_AGENTS and NUM_IL_META_AGENTS in parameters.py
• The number of RL meta-agents is implicity defined by the difference between total meta-agents and IL meta-agents (NUM_RL_META_AGENTS = NUM_META_AGENTS - NUM_IL_META_AGENTS)
• Name training run via training_version in parameters.py
• call python driver.py

1. I got pyglet.canvas.xlib.NoSuchDisplayException: Cannot connect to "None" when running on a server.

Running your code starting with xvfb-run will solve the problem. You may refer to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60922076/pyglet-canvas-xlib-nosuchdisplayexception-cannot-connect-to-none-only-happens and relevant issues on StackFlow for help.

2. In one-shot environment, why agent turns black after reaching a goal?

In the one-shot scenario, agent will 'disappear'(i.e., removed from the env). For visualization we keep it as black. Removal of agent who has achieved its goal is necessary, since a lot of narrow corridors in the map could cause unsolvable block and collision. One-shot scenario per se is just a way to test the optimality of the planner. By contrast we do not remove any agents for any reason in continuous env.

• driver.py - Driver of program. Holds global network for A3C.
• Runner.py - Compute node for training. Maintains a single meta agent.
• Worker.py - A single agent in a simulation environment. Majority of episode computation, including gradient calculation, occurs here.
• Ray_ACNet.py - Defines network architecture.
• Env_Builder.py - Defines the lower level structure of the Lifelong MAPF environment for PRIMAL2, including the world and agents class.
