The environment can be either fully or partially observable. Each grid cell is encoded with a tuple containing:

• The type of the object (can be another agent)
  • Provided object types are: wall, floor, lava, door, key, ball, box, goal, object goal and agent
• The color of the object or other agent
• The type of the object that the other agent is carrying
• The color of the object that the other agent is carrying
• The direction of the other agent
• Whether the other agent is actually one-self (useful for fully observable view)

Actions in the basic environment:

• Turn left
• Turn right
• Move forward
• Pick up an object
• Drop the object being carried
• Toggle (open doors, interact with objects)
• Done (task completed, optional)

Two environments are included.

Each agent get a positive reward whenever one agent drop the ball in their goal and a negative reward whenever one agent drop the ball in the opposite goal. Each agent can pass the ball to or take it from another agent. The number of teams, number of player in each team, number of goals and number of balls can be easily modified.

Each agent get a positive reward whenever one agent collect a ball of the same color and a negative reward whenever one agent collect a ball of a different color. The number of balls, colors and players can be easily modified.
