Observations
Atari environment have two possible observation types, the observation space is listed below. See variants section for the type of observation used by each environment id.
obs_type="rgb" -> observation_space=Box(0, 255, (210, 160, 3), np.uint8)obs_type="ram" -> observation_space=Box(0, 255, (128,), np.uint8)
Additionally, obs_type="grayscale" cause the environment return a grayscale version of the rgb array for observations with the observation space being Box(0, 255, (210, 160), np.uint8)
Rewards
You receive points for destroying enemies. For a more detailed documentation, see the AtariAge page.
