I'm using Bizhawk on Windows and want to apply some ml methods to games using python or lua. However, I always fail to require torch in lua, so I want to get data into python. Is there any great way to make it? Or how to install torch into Bizhawk lua enviornment? I tried a lot. Thanks in advance!

You might want to have a look at a Youtube video called "MarI/O - Machine Learning for Video Games" by Seth Bling. There are actually a couple machine learning examples when you Google the title. The initial video also has a link to the lua file used in the description. As for integrating torch into Bizhawk however, I have no idea about that.

If you'll pardon me shilling my work you may also consider looking into Gym Retro, which is designed for this (though it's not directly compatible with BizHawk).

The most reliable way I've found to get this working is use sockets to have LUA act as sort of an API for Python. I was able to successfully do this using ZMQ, and knew nothing about socket programming (or LUA) when I tried. It'd be nice to have a standardized way to do this, but it isn't a huge obstacle.
