Description
In this course you will be introduced to the basics of Machine Learning through game design in Unity and Python. First you will be introduced to the very basics of ML and python, you will learn such simple ML concepts such as supervised learning, regression and gradient descent. After that you will get acquainted with reinforcement learning and will try to understand and apply a combination of Reinforcement Learning, Deep Neural Networks and other algorithms in the Unity environment to help your agent accomplish complex and dynamic tasks. Lastly you will learn how to build dynamic full featured RL environments and agents for you to train later in your games. You will not only be able to create your own RL algorithms from scratch (such as Q-learning, SARSA and PPO), but also customize them to fit the needs of your environment and train your agents in Unity. You will gain experience with widely used tools and libraries in the industry of ML, such as: Unity3D, Pytorch, mlagents-learn, scikit-learn and more. We hope that this course will help you to better understand and prepare for your journey of developing truly intelligent agents and characters in your own games. Let's get started!
Who this course is for:
- Beginner programmers who want to delve into AI.
- For everyone who want to create their own reinforcement learning algorythms in Unity by using python.
- For people who want to delve into game development and AI

I have experience creating games with Unity, GameMaker and Pygame. The main area of my expertise is Unity. I have also have a good knowledge of 3D modeling programs such as: TinkerCAD, SolidWorks, Blender. I work as a teacher and often teach children and adults in real life. I try out most of the lessons that are uploaded here with my students.
