5548	Remote Interface for Reinforcement Learning	Brian Broll		"It would be great if 0 AD provided an interface which enabled experimentation with RL for the built-in AI (similar to OpenAI gym). This would allow people to train their own RL/ML agents and could be useful for non-ML agents as they could be prototyped in Python, if desired. This could be useful both for using 0 AD as a research sandbox to explore challenging RL/ML problems as well as benefit 0 AD by facilitating experimentation with new techniques for the built-in AI.

There are also a number of related posts on the forum that seem like they would benefit from this (or are talking about this directly):

I have [https://github.com/0ad/0ad/pull/25 implemented such an interface] and would love to contribute it back to the community but wanted to open a ticket for related discussion!"	enhancement	new	Nice to Have	Backlog	Core engine
