# How to create new environments for Gym
* Create a new repo called gym-foo, which should also be a PIP package.
* A good example is https://github.com/openai/gym-soccer.
* It should have at least the following files:
```sh
gym-foo/
README.md
setup.py
gym_foo/
__init__.py
envs/
__init__.py
foo_env.py
foo_extrahard_env.py
```
* `gym-foo/setup.py` should have:
```python
from setuptools import setup
setup(name='gym_foo',
version='0.0.1',
install_requires=['gym'] # And any other dependencies foo needs
)
```
* `gym-foo/gym_foo/__init__.py` should have:
```python
from gym.envs.registration import register
register(
id='foo-v0',
entry_point='gym_foo.envs:FooEnv',
)
register(
id='foo-extrahard-v0',
entry_point='gym_foo.envs:FooExtraHardEnv',
)
```
* `gym-foo/gym_foo/envs/__init__.py` should have:
```python
from gym_foo.envs.foo_env import FooEnv
from gym_foo.envs.foo_extrahard_env import FooExtraHardEnv
```
* `gym-foo/gym_foo/envs/foo_env.py` should look something like:
```python
import gym
from gym import error, spaces, utils
from gym.utils import seeding
class FooEnv(gym.Env):
metadata = {'render.modes': ['human']}
def __init__(self):
...
def step(self, action):
...
def reset(self):
...
def render(self, mode='human'):
...
def close(self):
...
```
* After you have installed your package with `pip install -e gym-foo`, you can create an instance of the environment with `gym.make('gym_foo:foo-v0')`
## How to add new environments to Gym, within this repo (not recommended for new environments)
1. Write your environment in an existing collection or a new collection. All collections are subfolders of `/gym/envs`.
2. Import your environment into the `__init__.py` file of the collection. This file will be located at `/gym/envs/my_collection/__init__.py`. Add `from gym.envs.my_collection.my_awesome_env import MyEnv` to this file.
3. Register your env in `/gym/envs/__init__.py`:
```
register(
id='MyEnv-v0',
entry_point='gym.envs.my_collection:MyEnv',
)
```
4. Add your environment to the scoreboard in `/gym/scoreboard/__init__.py`:
```
add_task(
id='MyEnv-v0',
summary="Super cool environment",
group='my_collection',
contributor='mygithubhandle',
)
```
