* sync cnn lstm layer with originals.

* add cnn_lnlstm layer.

* fix a case when `states` is None.

* add initial_state variable to help test.

* make ppo2 rnn test available.

* rename 'obs' with 'observations'.
rename 'transition' with 'transitions'.
fix forgetting `dones` in the replay buffer.
fix a misuse of `states` and `next_states` in the replay buffer.

* make initialization once.
make `test_fixed_sequence` compatible with ppo2.

* adjust input shape.

* fix checking of a model input args in `simple_test` function.

* disable warning on purpose.

* support the play.

* improve scopes to compatible with multiple models (i.e, other tensorflow global/local variables)

* clean the scope of ppo2 policy model.

* name the memory variable of PPO RNNs more describly

* wrap the initializations in ppo2.

* remove redundant lines.

* update `REAMD.md`.

* add RNN layers.

* add the result of HalfCheeta-v2 env  experiment.

* correct a typo.

* add RNN class.

* rename `nlstm` with `num_units` in RNN builder functions.

* remove state saving.

* reuse RNNs in a2c.utils.

* revert baselines/run.py.

* replace `ppo2.step()` with original interface.

* revert `baselines/common/tests/util.py`.

* remove redundant lines.

* revert `baselines/common/test/util.py` to b875fb7.

* remove `states` variable.

* move RNN class to `baselines/ppo2/layers.py' and revert `baselines/common/models.py` to 858afa8.

* rename `model.step_as_dict` with `model.step_with_dict`.

* removed `ppo_lstm_mlp`.

* fix 02e26fd.

 *NOTE:* At the moment Mujoco training uses VecNormalize wrapper for the environment which is not being saved correctly; so loading the models trained on Mujoco will not work well if the environment is recreated. If necessary, you can work around that by replacing RunningMeanStd by TfRunningMeanStd in [baselines/common/vec_env/vec_normalize.py](baselines/common/vec_env/vec_normalize.py#L12). This way, mean and std of environment normalizing wrapper will be saved in tensorflow variables and included in the model file; however, training is slower that way - hence not including it by default
 
+## Loading and vizualizing learning curves and other training metrics
+See [here](docs/viz/viz.ipynb) for instructions on how to load and display the training data. 
 
-## Using baselines with TensorBoard
-Baselines logger can save data in the TensorBoard format. To do so, set environment variables `OPENAI_LOG_FORMAT` and `OPENAI_LOGDIR`:
-```bash
-export OPENAI_LOG_FORMAT='stdout,log,csv,tensorboard' # formats are comma-separated, but for tensorboard you only really need the last one
-export OPENAI_LOGDIR=path/to/tensorboard/data
-```
-And you can now start TensorBoard with:
-```bash
-tensorboard --logdir=$OPENAI_LOGDIR
-```

 ### Getting started
 Training an agent is very simple:
 ```bash
-python -m baselines.her.experiment.train
+python -m baselines.run --alg=her --env=FetchReach-v1 --num_timesteps=5000
 ```
 This will train a DDPG+HER agent on the `FetchReach` environment.
 You should see the success rate go up quickly to `1.0`, which means that the agent achieves the
-desired goal in 100% of the cases.
-The training script logs other diagnostics as well and pickles the best policy so far (w.r.t. to its test success rate),
-the latest policy, and, if enabled, a history of policies every K epochs.
-
-To inspect what the agent has learned, use the play script:
+desired goal in 100% of the cases (note how HER can solve it in <5k steps - try doing that with PPO by replacing her with ppo2 :))
+The training script logs other diagnostics as well. Policy at the end of the training can be saved using `--save_path` flag, for instance:
 ```bash
-python -m baselines.her.experiment.play /path/to/an/experiment/policy_best.pkl
+python -m baselines.run --alg=her --env=FetchReach-v1 --num_timesteps=5000 --save_path=~/policies/her/fetchreach5k
 ```
-You can try it right now with the results of the training step (the script prints out the path for you).
-This should visualize the current policy for 10 episodes and will also print statistics.
+
+To inspect what the agent has learned, use the `--play` flag: 
+```bash
+python -m baselines.run --alg=her --env=FetchReach-v1 --num_timesteps=5000 --play
+```
+(note `--play` can be combined with `--load_path`, which lets one load trained policies, for more results see [README.md](../../README.md))
