pip install -e .

Basic Usage (5 lines)

from openenv import OpenEnv

env = OpenEnv()
obs, info = env.reset()
action = env.action_space.sample()
obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)

Training with PPO (10 lines)

from stable_baselines3 import PPO
from openenv import OpenEnv

env = OpenEnv()
model = PPO("MlpPolicy", env, verbose=1)
model.learn(total_timesteps=100000)
model.save("my_agent")

💡 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

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

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

config = EnvConfig(
    render_mode='human',
    screen_size=(1024, 768),
    render_fps=60,
)
