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

Action Space

Discrete(14)

Observation Space

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

Import

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

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

Description

You are a Kung-Fu Master fighting your way through the Evil Wizard’s temple. Your goal is to rescue Princess Victoria, defeating various enemies along the way.

For a more detailed documentation, see the AtariAge page

Actions

KungFuMaster has the action space of Discrete(14) with the table below listing the meaning of each action’s meanings. To enable all 18 possible actions that can be performed on an Atari 2600, specify full_action_space=True during initialization or by passing full_action_space=True 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.

Variants

KungFuMaster 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
