Applications include robotics, logistics, gaming, and even control problems in science like nuclear fusion. It's an underexplored niche of AI where you can really advance the field without a ton of compute. But learning RL is hard, and most of the material out there for beginners makes it even harder. The advice here is a formalized version of how I train new PufferLib contributors. Some of these came in with zero programming knowledge and now help advance our research and tools.
