Adding New Environments

To introduce a new environment into the spaceros_procgen_envs package, the process is straightforward and modular. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Duplicate an Existing Environment:

    • Navigate to the spaceros_procgen_envs/tasks directory, which houses the existing environments.
    • Copy one of the existing demo or task folders (e.g., sample_collection or one that resembles your desired task/demo more) and rename it to the name of your new environment.

  2. Modify the Environment Configuration:

    • After duplicating, customize your new environment by altering the configuration files and task implementation code within the folder. This may include asset selection, interaction rules, or specific environmental dynamics.
    • Any changes can be made to the environment’s configuration, asset generation, or task-specific code depending on the desired functionality and behavior.

  3. Automatic Registration:

    • The new environment will be automatically detected by the spaceros_procgen_envs package due to its presence in the tasks directory. The environment will be registered under the directory name you assigned during the duplication process.
    • There is no need for manual registration, as the system dynamically loads environments based on the folder structure.

  4. Running Your New Environment:

    • To run or test the new environment, you can invoke it using the same commands as existing environments, specifying the name of your new environment (task) in the --task argument.
