Oh it's here! :)

My goal with Serpent.AI is to lower the barriers to entry when it comes to using games as sandboxes for code experiments. It unlocks your entire existing game library (Steam, DRM-Free etc.) to be used as potential game agent environments and it does so natively! No Docker containers, No VNC. It is simple enough for beginners & hobbyists to dabble in, but also powerful enough to drive serious machine learning and AI research. The framework provides structure and conventions so you can focus on your experiment exclusively. It also doesn't try to dictate how you solve your problems. Your game agent is your canvas!


How does Serpent.AI help with scraping game state? In my ignorance of the state of research here I would think that's the most common barrier to entry.


Thank you so much. OpenAI gym and Universe have been, to say it lightly, a pain to use on Windows (generally through hacks like the Ubuntu subsystem, etc.). And let's be honest most video games are Windows native.
