GridObject

class curiosity_gym.core.objects.GridObject(position: tuple[int, int], color: int = 0, state: int = 0)

Abstract class representing elements that can be placed in a grid environment.

It contains the attributes position, color, and state, which define the characteristics and behavior of the object. The class maintains a unique identifier for each subclass and provides default implementations of the reset(), simulate(), get_identity(), is_walkable() and is_harmful() methods. It enforces the implementation of a render() method by all subclasses.

Parameters:

• position (tuple[int,int]) – Position in the grid where the object will be placed. Values must be in range (width - 1, height - 1).

• color (int) – Color of the grid object. Values must be in range(0,10). Color mappings are defined in IX_TO_COLOR.

• state (int) – State of the grid object. State characteristics vary by object type. Values must be in range(0,4).

Methods

get_identity	Return a tuple that identifies the grid object and its state in the enviroment.
interact	Interact with agent.
is_harmful	Determine whether grid object is harmful to the agent.
is_walkable	Determine whether agent can move on grid object.
render	Render grid object in PyGame.
reset	Reset attributes of the grid object to their starting values.
simulate	Simulate how grid object would change if a given action were taken.
step	Compute grid object changes after single timestep.

Attributes

id_map	Dictionary for all ids and their corresponding subclasses.
identifier	Unique id number for each subclass.
