Visualization

ChainerRL has a set of accompanying visualization tools in order to aid developers' ability to understand and debug their RL agents. With this visualization tool, the behavior of ChainerRL agents can be easily inspected from a browser UI.

Environments

Environments that support the subset of OpenAI Gym's interface (reset and step methods) can be used.
