# Deprecation Warning
These environments were intended to reproduce an earlier version of melting pot that was not open sourced. You can find [Melting Pot](https://github.com/google-deepmind/meltingpot) at the link and we strongly recommend using it over this repo.
# Sequential Social Dilemma Games
This repo is an open-source implementation of DeepMind's Sequential Social Dilemma (SSD) multi-agent game-theoretic environments [[1]](https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.03037). SSDs can be thought of as analogous to spatially and temporally extended Prisoner's Dilemma-like games. The reward structure poses a dilemma because individual short-term optimal strategies lead to poor long-term outcomes for the group.
The implemented environments are structured to be compatible with [OpenAIs gym environments](https://github.com/openai/gym) as well as [RLlib's Multiagent Environment](https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/master/rllib/env/multi_agent_env.py)
## Implemented Games
* **Cleanup**: A public goods dilemma in which agents get a reward for consuming apples, but must use a cleaning beam to clean a river in order for apples to grow. While an agent is cleaning the river, other agents can exploit it by consuming the apples that appear.
* **Harvest**: A tragedy-of-the-commons dilemma in which apples regrow at a rate that depends on the amount of nearby apples. If individual agents employ an exploitative strategy by greedily consuming too many apples, the collective reward of all agents is reduced.
The above plot shows the empirical Schelling diagrams for both Cleanup (A) and Harvest (B) (from [[2]](https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.08884)). These diagrams show the payoff that an individual agent can expect if it follows a defecting/exploitative strategy (red) vs a cooperative strategy (blue), given the number of other agents that are cooperating. We can see that an individual agent can almost always greedily benefit from detecting, but the more agents that defect, the worse the outcomes for all agents.
# Setup instructions
To install the SSD environments:
### Anaconda/miniconda
```bash
git clone -b master https://github.com/eugenevinitsky/sequential_social_dilemma_games
cd sequential_social_dilemma_games
conda create -n ssd python==3.8.10 # Create a conda virtual environment
# Patch ray due to https://github.com/ray-project/ray/issues/7946
# And https://github.com/ray-project/ray/pull/8491
. conda_uint8_patch.sh
```
###
```bash
git clone -b master https://github.com/eugenevinitsky/sequential_social_dilemma_games
cd sequential_social_dilemma_games
python3 -m venv venv # Create a Python virtual environment
. venv/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
python3 setup.py develop
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
# Patch ray due to https://github.com/ray-project/ray/issues/7946
# And https://github.com/ray-project/ray/pull/8491
. venv_uint8_patch.sh
```
To install sb3|rllib|all requirements for learning:
```bash
pip3 install social-dilemmas[sb3|rllib|all]
```
If using RLlib:
```
```
After the setup, you can run experiments like so:
- To train with default parameters (baseline model cleanup with 2 agents):
```bash
python3 run_scripts/train.py
```
- To train the MOA with 5 agents:
```bash
python3 run_scripts/train.py --model moa --num_agents 5
```
Many more options are available which can be found in [default_args.py](config/default_args.py). A collection of preconfigured training scripts can be found in [run_scripts](run_scripts).
Note that the RLlib initialization time can be rather high (up to 5 minutes) the more agents you use, and the more complex your used model is.
- To train using [Stable-Baselines3](https://github.com/DLR-RM/stable-baselines3) and parameter shared PPO:
```bash
python3 run_scripts/sb3_train.py --env harvest --num_agents 5
```
- To train using [MARL-Baselines3](https://github.com/Rohan138/marl-baselines3) and independent PPO:
```bash
python3 run_scripts/sb3_independent.py --env harvest --num_agents 5
```
- To train using [MARL-Baselines3](https://github.com/Rohan138/marl-baselines3) and independent PPO with inequity aversion:
```bash
python3 run_scripts/sb3_independent.py --env harvest --num_agents 5 --inequity-averse-reward=True --alpha=5.0 --beta=0.05
```
# CUDA, cuDNN and tensorflow-gpu
If you run into any cuda errors, make sure you've got a [compatible set](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/source#tested_build_configurations) of cuda/cudnn/tensorflow versions installed. However, beware of the following:
>The compatibility table given in the tensorflow site does not contain specific minor versions for cuda and cuDNN. However, if the specific versions are not met, there will be an error when you try to use tensorflow. [source](https://stackoverflow.com/a/53727997)
# Tests
Tests are located in the test folder and can be run individually or run by running `python -m pytest`. Many of the less obviously defined rules for the games can be understood by reading the tests, each of which outline some aspect of the game.
# Constructing new environments
Every environment that subclasses MapEnv probably needs to implement the following methods:
```python
class NewMapEnv(MapEnv):
...
def custom_reset(self):
"""Reset custom elements of the map. For example, spawn apples"""
pass
def custom_action(self, agent, action):
"""Execute any custom, non-move actions that may be defined, like fire or clean"""
pass
def custom_map_update(self):
"""Custom map updates that don't have to do with agent actions"""
pass
def setup_agents(self):
"""Construct all the agents for the environment"""
raise NotImplementedError
```
## PPO Results
The below graphs display results for cleanup/harvest using un-tuned PPO in RLlib. As of yet, A3C remains untested.
**Collective cleanup reward**:
**Collective harvest reward**:
