Getting all the textual description (observations) about jericho HOT 6 CLOSED

There's a nearly unlimited number of textual observations for any game as the text of the observation can change based on what objects are in the room. So it's hard to extract "all" the observations from a game. A couple approximations you might consider:

1. If you are interested mainly in the games in the Jericho suite, run the walkthrough for the game and record the observations encountered. Walkthroughs aren't guaranteed to be exhaustive, but they will likely get pretty good coverage of the possible places you can visit in a game. See example at: https://jericho-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial_quick.html#walkthroughs
2. If you are interested in a large sampling of observations from games in and beyond the Jericho suite, consider using ClubFloyd Dataset which can be found at https://github.com/princeton-nlp/calm-textgame.

For my research I tried to get all the descriptions (not only room descriptions but detailed item descriptions as well), so I used a combination of 3 approaches:

• for the games with full support by the Jericho suite I enumerated rooms by running the walkthrough and calling env.get_player_location() first, plus I stored a walkthrough prefix to be able to restart the game and replay the prefix to get into the room, then I tried to 'examine' each word in the room's description, finally, I cleaned out dummy messages.
• next, I collected 24 more games with working solutions, here I used a room's title (the first line of observation) instead of get_player_location() to identify the room, the rest was the same.
• finally, I used just random walks to generate pseudo-solutions for the rest of the games; the results had a very low recall but there are tons of such games so even this simple approach gave me a lot of data.

@mhauskn
BTW, I can share 24 games with solutions currently unsupported by Jericho, if you are interested :)

@altsoph, sure, I'd be interested to learn more about these 24 games.

Thank you. I will try them and see how it goes, and will let you know if I find another way.
