Gymnasium is the successsor of the famous OpenAI Gym library. It's highly recommended to move to gymnasium since gym is not being maintained.

Gymnasium is maintained by the Farama Foundation, an open-Sources nonprofit foundation.

ViZDoom allows developing AI bots that play Doom using only visual information (the screen buffer). It is primarily intended for research in machine visual learning, and deep reinforcement learning, in particular.

Note: the assembly code in this article can be MIPS or RISCV. This shouldn't be consufusing since the only big difference between them is that MIPS add a $ before the name of each register:

1
2
3
4
5

# MIPS:
add $t0, $t1, $t2  # add values in $t1 and $t2, the result is stored in $t0

# RISC-V
add t0, t1, t2 # add values in t1 and t2, the result is stored in t0
