curvytron-client

client.py contains code to interact with the curvtron server. env.py is an interface around this that is compatible with the gym environments.

---

Install

conda create -n cc python=3 spyder scikit-image
conda activate cc
pip install websocket-client

---

To see the environment drawing the players, run the following in a python script, replacing "server_address" with the actual address of your curvytron server (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8080) (or use "www.curvytron.com" to run on the website):

import curvytron
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
serveraddress = "127.0.0.1:8080"  # if you're running a local server
# serveraddress = "www.curvytron.com"  # if you want to run on the game website
env = curvytron.CurvytronEnv(server=serveraddress,room='room')
env.reset()
episode_over = False
while not episode_over:
    ob,r,episode_over = environment.step(2)
    plt.imshow(ob.pixels)
    plt.pause(0.005)
print "done"

TODO

• adapt client for step-by-step version of curvytron
  • Need to handle more message passing, probably want something equivalent to only taking every Nth frame
• add message handling for room close, player leaving etc.
• add the other methods and attributes required to make this a full gym environment.
