DIAMBRA Arena comes with many different tools supporting development and debug. They provide different functionalities, all described below in the sections below where both code and output is reported.

Source code can be found in the code repository, here.

import diambra.arena
diambra.arena.available_games(print_out=True, details=True)

Output will be similar to what follows:

ROMs Check

Checks ROM SHA256 checksum to validate them.

Without `game_id` specification

If no game_id is specified, the ROM file provided as first argument, will be verified against all available games. It is executed as shown below:

import diambra.arena
diambra.arena.check_game_sha_256(path="path/to/specific/rom/doapp.zip", game_id=None)

Output will be similar to what follows:

Correct ROM file for Dead Or Alive ++, sha256 = d95855c7d8596a90f0b8ca15725686567d767a9a3f93a8896b489a160e705c4e

With `game_id` specification

If game_id is specified, the checksum of the ROM file provided will be compared with the one of the specified game identified by game_id. It is executed as shown below:

import diambra.arena
diambra.arena.check_game_sha_256(path="path/to/specific/rom/doapp.zip", game_id="umk3")

Output will be similar to what follows:

from diambra.arena.gym_utils import env_spaces_summary
...
env_spaces_summary(env=environment)

        Space low bound = 1

Action space:

action_space =  Discrete(12)
  Space type =  int64
    Space n =  12

Observation Inspection

Prints out a detailed description of Environment’s observation content, showing every level of it. The only element that is not printed in the terminal is the game frame that, when viz input argument is set to True, is shown is a dedicated graphical window. The wait_key parameter defines how this window behaves: when set equal to 0, it pauses waiting for the user to press a button, while if set different from zero, it waits the prescribed number of milliseconds before continuing.

There are two different methods, one to be used for the basic Gym Environment and the other one specific for the wrapped one.

Gym Observation

Use of this functionality can be found in this and this examples.

from diambra.arena.gym_utils import show_gym_obs
...
show_gym_obs(observation=obs, char_list=characters_names, wait_key=1, viz=True)

Output will be similar to what follows:

Frame visualization window:

Terminal printout:

observation["frame"].shape: (480, 512, 3)
observation["stage"]: 1
observation["P1"]["ownChar"]: Kasumi
observation["P1"]["oppChar"]: Bayman
observation["P1"]["ownHealth"]: 66
observation["P1"]["oppHealth"]: 184
observation["P1"]["ownSide"]: 0
observation["P1"]["oppSide"]: 1
observation["P1"]["ownWins"]: 0
observation["P1"]["oppWins"]: 0
observation["P1"]["actions"]: {'move': 0, 'attack': 3}

Wrapped Observation

Use of this functionality can be found in this and this examples.

This functionality currently does not support all possible wrappers configurations but only a part of them. In particular, it assumes the observation normalization wrapper is active.

from diambra.arena.gym_utils import show_wrap_obs
...
show_wrap_obs(observation=obs, n_actions_stack=n_act_stack, char_list=characters_names, wait_key=1, viz=True)

Output will be similar to what follows:

Frame stack visualization windows:

Terminal printout:

observation["frame"].shape: (128, 128, 4)
observation["stage"]: 0.0
observation["P1"]["ownChar"]: [0. 0. 0. 1. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.] / Bayman
observation["P1"]["oppChar"]: [1. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0. 0.] / Kasumi
observation["P1"]["ownHealth"]: 0.8173076923076923
observation["P1"]["oppHealth"]: 0.8028846153846154
observation["P1"]["ownSide"]: 1
observation["P1"]["oppSide"]: 0
observation["P1"]["ownWins"]: 0.0
observation["P1"]["oppWins"]: 0.0
observation["P1"]["actions"]["move"]:

observation["P1"]["actions"]["attack"]:

 [1 0 0 0]]

Controller Interface

Use of this functionality can be found in this example.

Depending on the Operating System used, specific permissions may be needed in order to read the keyboard inputs.

- On Windows, by default no specific permissions are needed. However, if you have some third-party security software you may need to white-list Python.
- On Linux you need to add the user the input group: sudo usermod -aG input $USER
- On Mac, it is possible you need to use the settings application to allow your program to access the input devices (see this reference).

Official inputs python package reference guide can be found at this link

It allows to easily interface a common USB Gamepad or the Keyboard to DIAMBRA Arena environments, to be used for experiments where human input is required, for example Human Expert Demonstration Collection or Competitive Human-Agent. The following code snippet shows a typical usage.

import diambra.arena
from diambra.arena.utils.controller import get_diambra_controller
...
# Controller initialization
controller = get_diambra_controller(env.action_list)
controller.start()
...
actions = controller.get_actions()
...
controller.stop()
