pytorch-DRL vs on-policy

pytorch-DRL: Pytorch-madrl provides modular PyTorch implementations for a range of Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms, suitable for both single and multi-agent systems. It features a unified agent interface with components for environment interaction, training, and action selection to promote code reusability across different DRL methods.; on-policy: This repository implements MAPPO, a multi-agent variant of PPO, widely used in cooperative multi-agent games and research. It provides robust implementations for various multi-agent environments like StarCraft II, Hanabi, and Google Research Football, along with detailed training scripts and hyperparameter guidance.
