This environment is part of the Atari environments. Please read that page first for general information.

Action Space

Discrete(18)

Observation Space

Box(0, 255, (210, 160, 3), uint8)

Import

gymnasium.make("ALE/Jamesbond-v5")

For more Jamesbond variants with different observation and action spaces, see the variants section.

Description

Your mission is to control Mr. Bond’s specially designed multipurpose craft to complete a variety of missions.The craft moves forward with a right motion and slightly back with a left motion.An up or down motion causes the craft to jump or dive.You can also fire by either lobbing a bomb to the bottom of the screen or firing a fixed angle shot to the top of the screen.

For a more detailed documentation, see the AtariAge page

Actions

Jamesbond has the action space Discrete(18) with the table below listing the meaning of each action’s meanings. As Jamesbond uses the full set of actions then specifying full_action_space=True will not modify the action space of the environment if passed to gymnasium.make.

Observations

Atari environments have three possible observation types: "rgb", "grayscale" and "ram".

  • obs_type="rgb" -> observation_space=Box(0, 255, (210, 160, 3), np.uint8)

  • obs_type="ram" -> observation_space=Box(0, 255, (128,), np.uint8)

  • obs_type="grayscale" -> Box(0, 255, (210, 160), np.uint8), a grayscale version of the “rgb” type

See variants section for the type of observation used by each environment id by default.

Rewards

The game ends when you complete the last mission or when you lose the last craft. In either case, you’ll receive your final score. There will be a rating based on your score. The highest rating in NOVICE is 006. The highest rating in AGENT is 007. For a more detailed documentation, consult the AtariAge page.

Variants

Jamesbond has the following variants of the environment id which have the following differences in observation, the number of frame-skips and the repeat action probability.

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 frame-skipping was removed. The environments are now in the “ALE” namespace.

  • v4: Stickiness of actions was removed

  • v0: Initial versions release
