"""Implements the common preprocessing techniques for Atari environments (excluding frame stacking).
For frame stacking use :class:`gymnasium.wrappers.FrameStackObservation`.
No vector version of the wrapper exists
This class follows the guidelines in Machado et al. (2018),
"Revisiting the Arcade Learning Environment: Evaluation Protocols and Open Problems for General Agents".
Specifically, the following preprocess stages applies to the atari environment:
- Noop Reset: Obtains the initial state by taking a random number of no-ops on reset, default max 30 no-ops.
- Frame skipping: The number of frames skipped between steps, 4 by default.
- Max-pooling: Pools over the most recent two observations from the frame skips.
- Termination signal when a life is lost: When the agent losses a life during the environment, then the environment is terminated.
Turned off by default. Not recommended by Machado et al. (2018).
- Resize to a square image: Resizes the atari environment original observation shape from 210x180 to 84x84 by default.
- Grayscale observation: Makes the observation greyscale, enabled by default.
- Grayscale new axis: Extends the last channel of the observation such that the image is 3-dimensional, not enabled by default.
- Scale observation: Whether to scale the observation between [0, 1) or [0, 255), not scaled by default.
Example:
>>> import gymnasium as gym # doctest: +SKIP
>>> env = gym.make("ALE/Adventure-v5") # doctest: +SKIP
>>> env = AtariPreprocessing(env, noop_max=10, frame_skip=0, screen_size=84, terminal_on_life_loss=True, grayscale_obs=False, grayscale_newaxis=False) # doctest: +SKIP
Change logs:
* Added in gym v0.12.2 (gym #1455)

"""Wrapper for Atari 2600 preprocessing.
Args:
env (Env): The environment to apply the preprocessing
noop_max (int): For No-op reset, the max number no-ops actions are taken at reset, to turn off, set to 0.
frame_skip (int): The number of frames between new observation the agents observations effecting the frequency at which the agent experiences the game.
screen_size (int): resize Atari frame.
terminal_on_life_loss (bool): `if True`, then :meth:`step()` returns `terminated=True` whenever a
life is lost.
grayscale_obs (bool): if True, then gray scale observation is returned, otherwise, RGB observation
is returned.
grayscale_newaxis (bool): `if True and grayscale_obs=True`, then a channel axis is added to
grayscale observations to make them 3-dimensional.
scale_obs (bool): if True, then observation normalized in range [0,1) is returned. It also limits memory
optimization benefits of FrameStack Wrapper.
