## 💡 Key Design Decisions

### Why This Environment Design?
- **8D Observation:** Provides all necessary state information
- **4D Action:** Continuous control is more realistic
- **Physics:** Simple but non-trivial dynamics
- **Rewards:** Balanced dense and sparse signals
- **Terminations:** Multiple failure modes for learning

### Why This Architecture?
- **Dataclass Config:** Type-safe, serializable, extensible
- **Modular Design:** Easy to extend and modify
- **Logging System:** Debuggable and monitorable
- **Rendering Options:** Both interactive and programmatic

## 🔧 Customization Examples

### Create Easy Mode
```python
from openenv import EnvConfig

config = EnvConfig(
    episode_length=500,      # More time
    boundary_limit=100.0,    # Larger area
    max_velocity=200.0,      # Less strict
    reward_scale=2.0,        # Higher rewards
)
```

### Create Hard Mode
```python
config = EnvConfig(
    episode_length=100,      # Less time
    boundary_limit=20.0,     # Smaller area
    max_velocity=30.0,       # Strict limits
    sparse_rewards=True,     # Only goal reward
    friction=0.1,           # More drag
)
```

### Visual Mode
```python
config = EnvConfig(
    render_mode='human',
    screen_size=(1024, 768),
    render_fps=60,
)
```
