# pytorch-world

A modular PyTorch library for learning, training, and deploying world models across various environments. This package provides minimal implementations of popular world model algorithms, enabling researchers and developers to experiment with predictive modeling in reinforcement learning and beyond.

## Features

- **Modular Design**: Easily extensible components for encoders, decoders, transition models, and reward predictors.
- **Supported Algorithms**:
  - Dreamer (v1 and v2 variants)
  - PlaNet
  - World Model-based agents for custom environments
- **Integration**: Compatible with MuJoCo, Atari, and custom gym environments.
- **Evaluation Tools**: Built-in scripts for training, evaluation, and visualization.
- **PyTorch Native**: Leverages PyTorch's dynamic computation graphs for efficient training.

## Installation

### Prerequisites
- Python 3.8+
- PyTorch 1.9+
- MuJoCo (for physics simulations)

### Install from PyPI
```bash
pip install pytorch-world
```

### Install from Source
Clone the repository and install in editable mode:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/ParamThakkar123/pytorch-world.git
cd pytorch-world
pip install -e .
```

For development dependencies (testing, linting):
```bash
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

## Quick Start

### Training a Dreamer Agent
```python
from world_models.dreamer import DreamerAgent
import gym

env = gym.make('Pendulum-v1')
agent = DreamerAgent(env.observation_space, env.action_space)
agent.train(env, num_episodes=1000)
```

### Evaluating a Trained Model
Use the provided evaluation script:
```bash
python dreamer_eval.py --model_path results/dreamer_v1_custom_env/model.pth --env Pendulum-v1
```

### Custom Environment Example
```python
from world_models import WorldModel
import torch

# Define your custom environment
class CustomEnv:
    def __init__(self):
        self.obs_dim = 10
        self.act_dim = 2

env = CustomEnv()
model = WorldModel(obs_dim=env.obs_dim, act_dim=env.act_dim)
# Train or load model...
```

## Project Structure

- `world_models/`: Core library modules (encoders, decoders, agents)
- `dreamer_eval.py`: Evaluation script for Dreamer agents
- `dreamer_try.py`: Quick try-out script for Dreamer
- `main.py`: Main entry point for training
- `results/`: Directory for storing trained models and logs
