rock_paper_scissors_multiagent.py

"""A simple multi-agent env with two agents playing rock paper scissors.

This demonstrates running the following policies in competition:
    (1) heuristic policy of repeating the same move
    (2) heuristic policy of beating the last opponent move
    (3) LSTM/feedforward PG policies
    (4) LSTM policy with custom entropy loss
