Abstract: MicroRacer is a simple, open source environment inspired by car racing especially meant for the didactics of Deep Reinforcement Learning. The complexity of the environment has been explicitly calibrated to allow users to experiment with many different methods, networks and hyperparameters settings without requiring sophisticated software or exceedingly long training times. Baseline agents for major learning algorithms such as DDPG, PPO, SAC, TD3 and DSAC are provided too, along with a preliminary comparison in terms of training time and performance.
