C-Procgen: Empowering Procgen with Controllable Contexts (2311.07312v1)

Abstract: We present C-Procgen, an enhanced suite of environments on top of the Procgen benchmark. C-Procgen provides access to over 200 unique game contexts across 16 games. It allows for detailed configuration of environments, ranging from game mechanics to agent attributes. This makes the procedural generation process, previously a black-box in Procgen, more transparent and adaptable for various research needs.The upgrade enhances dynamic context management and individualized assignments, while maintaining computational efficiency. C-Procgen's controllable contexts make it applicable in diverse reinforcement learning research areas, such as learning dynamics analysis, curriculum learning, and transfer learning. We believe that C-Procgen will fill a gap in the current literature and offer a valuable toolkit for future works.
