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
Score points are your only reward. You get score points each time you:
| actions | points |
|---|---|
| eat a pile of birdseed | 100 |
| eat steel shot | 100 |
| get the coyote hit by a mine (cannonball, rock, etc.) | 200 |
| get the coyote hit by a truck | 1000 |

Version History
A thorough discussion of the intricate differences between the versions and configurations can be found in the general article on Atari environments.
- v5: Stickiness was added back and stochastic frameskipping was removed. The environments are now in the "ALE" namespace.
- v4: Stickiness of actions was removed
- v0: Initial versions release
