Help wanted

Here are three implementations that the community would really appreciate:

1. Add in the flames and the direction of movement to the observation: This is here because the top competitors all recreated it.

2. Make a history function that returns all the states that this agent experienced and an ability to start from any of these states: This is here because it helps a lot with debugging agents and understanding where they are going wrong.

3. Make a doc that details how agents move: This is here because a lot of folks ask about it and it's an imperative to understand before building an agent in earnest.

Add in the flames but we do observe flames, do we not already?
Do you mean, flame life countdown?

history function that returns all the states that this agent experienced and an ability to start that is pretty much already built-in functionality

I guess I promised to do 3 before .... any good nomenclature references to follow?

@cinjon : Currently not all movements can be recreated from observations (and if @pathway guessed your intention to add flame life countdown - the same if true for flame life )

Are you looking for observation history post processing contributions or adding new observations directly from game state?

[pathway]

direction of movement assume we are talking about sliding bombs?

[fschlatt]

I'd suggest for moving bombs to implement a further map next to blast strength and life which contains the direction of movement of a bomb in terms of the action space of a player, e.g. up = 1, down = 2 etc... I should be able to tackle that over the weekend
