on-policy vs skrl

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.; skrl: skrl is an open-source, modular Reinforcement Learning library implemented in Python, supporting PyTorch, JAX, and NVIDIA Warp. It focuses on modularity, readability, simplicity, and transparent algorithm implementation, also supporting various environment interfaces like Gym, Gymnasium, and Isaac Lab.
