Description 
DeepRTS is a high-performance Real-TIme strategy game for Reinforcement Learning research. It is written in C++ for performance, but provides an python interface to better interface with machine-learning toolkits. Deep RTS can process the game with over 6 000 000 steps per second and 2 000 000 steps when rendering graphics. In comparison to other solutions, such as StarCraft, this is over 15 000% faster simulation time running on Intel i7-8700k with Nvidia RTX 2080 TI.
The aim of Deep RTS is to bring a more affordable and sustainable solution to RTS AI research by reducing computation time.
It is recommended to use the master-branch for the newest (and usually best) version of the environment. I am greatful for any input in regards to improving the environment.

Scenarios
Deep RTS features scenarios which is pre-built mini-games. These mini-games is well suited to train agents on specific tasks, or to test algorithms in different problem setups. The benefits of using scenarios is that you can trivially design reward functions using criterias that each outputs a reward/punishment signal depending on completion of the task. Examples of tasks are to:
- collect 1000 gold
- do 100 damage
- take 1000 damage
- defeat 5 enemies
Deep RTS currently implements the following scenarios

Minimal Example
import random
from DeepRTS.python import Config
from DeepRTS.python import scenario
if __name__ == "__main__":
random_play = True
episodes = 100
for i in range(episodes):
env = scenario.GeneralAI_1v1(Config.Map.THIRTYONE)
state = env.reset()
done = False
while not done:
env.game.set_player(env.game.players[0])
action = random.randrange(15)
next_state, reward, done, _ = env.step(action)
state = next_state
if (done):
break
env.game.set_player(env.game.players[1])
action = random.randrange(15)
next_state, reward, done, _ = env.step(action)
state = next_state
