yes! the very last example in the post shows what happens if you truncate the mantissa to just the 4 most significant bits

Well if there was ever an appropriate time to plug my dark fantasy machine learning poem this is it: https://clemenswinter.com/2021/03/24/conjuring-a-codecraft-m...

The bot has actually never seen Destroyer's big drones during training even once, so I found it somewhat surprising that it even works as well as it does!
Completely agree that adding something like the "League" used by AlphaStar would be one of the top priorities if you wanted to push this project further. I don't think CodeCraft is sufficiently complex to really allow for several very distinct strategies in the same way as StarCraft II, but I would still expect training against a larger pool of more diverse agents to increase robustness quite a bit.

Thank you for the kind words! I am also quite excited about the new points in game design space that RL will unlock and am planning write another blogpost on that topic.
I quite like https://karpathy.github.io/2016/05/31/rl/ as an introduction to some of the ideas behind modern RL. Beyond that, I just recently found out about https://github.com/andyljones/reinforcement-learning-discord... which lists a lot of other high-quality resources.
CodeCraft is a programming game which you can "play" by writing a Scala/Java program that controls the game units. It's not actively developed anymore but still functional: http://codecraftgame.org/
