When looking into implementing RL in a game environment, I found that both Unity MLAgents and the third-party UnrealCV communicate between the game environments and Python using sockets. I am looking into implementing RL for Unreal and wondering about the performance impact of using sockets vs using RL C++ libraries to keep everything "in-engine"/native.
Makes sense. I was just wondering if someone had any comparisons to share. I will create a toy environment in Unreal and compare integrating RL C++ libraries (looking at AI-Toolbox and mlpack) vs using Python with socket communication.
