gym_missile_command is an OpenAI Gym environment based on the classic Atari game Missile Command, where the player must defend six cities from incoming enemy missiles. The simplified version of the game involves firing missiles from an anti-missile battery to intercept the threats, with the game ending when all cities or enemy missiles are destroyed. The environment features a fixed difficulty level across all episodes, and the anti-missile battery remains indestructible.
The reward structure is designed to encourage the development of specific skills in the agent, such as protecting cities, improving accuracy, and optimizing missile usage. The agent earns rewards for destroying enemy missiles, protecting cities, and minimizing the number of missiles launched, all while navigating a more streamlined version of the classic arcade game.
