🤖 The NetHack Learning Environment


#Facebook launched new Reinforcement Learning environment for training agents based on #NetHack game. Nethack has nothing to do with what is considered common cybersecurity now, but it is an early terminal-based Minecraft (as a matter of fact one might say «console NetHack game» to go ‘all in’ in a word pun game).

NetHack is a wonderful RPG adventure game, happening in dungeon. Players control @ sign moving in ASCII-based environment, fighting enemies and doing quests. If you haven’t played it you are missing a whole piece of gaming culture and our editorial team kindly cheers you on at least trying to play it. Though now there lots of wikis and playing guides, canonicial way to play it is to dive into source code for looking up the keys and getting the whole idea of what to expect from different situations.

#NLE uses python and ZeroMQ and we are looking forward to interesting applications or showcases to arise from this release.
