Description#

Your mission is to find and enter the Beast’s Black Fortress, rescue Princess Lyssa, and destroy the Beast. The task is not an easy one, for the location of the Black Fortress changes with each sunrise on Krull. Detailed documentation can be found on the AtariAge page

Actions#

By default, all actions that can be performed on an Atari 2600 are available in this environment. Even if you use v0 or v4 or specify full_action_space=False during initialization, all actions will be available in the default flavor.

Observations#

By default, the environment returns the RGB image that is displayed to human players as an observation. However, it is possible to observe

  • The 128 Bytes of RAM of the console

  • A grayscale image

instead. The respective observation spaces are

  • Box([0 ... 0], [255 ... 255], (128,), uint8)

  • Box([[0 ... 0] ... [0  ... 0]], [[255 ... 255] ... [255  ... 255]], (250, 160), uint8)

respectively. The general article on Atari environments outlines different ways to instantiate corresponding environments via gymnasium.make.

Rewards#

You will receive various scores for each monster you kill. You can play the game until you have lost all your lives. For a more detailed documentation, consult the AtariAge page.

Arguments#

env = gymnasium.make("ALE/Krull-v5")

The various ways to configure the environment are described in detail in the article on Atari environments. It is possible to specify various flavors of the environment via the keyword arguments difficulty and mode. A flavor is a combination of a game mode and a difficulty setting.

You may use the suffix “-ram” to switch to the RAM observation space. In v0 and v4, the suffixes “Deterministic” and “NoFrameskip” are available. These are no longer supported in v5. In order to obtain equivalent behavior, pass keyword arguments to gymnasium.make as outlined in the general article on Atari environments. The versions v0 and v4 are not contained in the “ALE” namespace. I.e. they are instantiated via gymnasium.make("Krull-v0").

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 frameskipping was removed. The entire action space is used by default. The environments are now in the “ALE” namespace.

  • v4: Stickiness of actions was removed

  • v0: Initial versions release (1.0.0)
