ViZDoom is an AI research platform based on the classical First Person Shooter game Doom. The most popular game mode is probably the so-called Death Match, where several players join in a maze and fight against each other. After a fixed time, the match ends and all the players are ranked by the FRAG scores defined as kills minus suicides. During the game, each player can access various observations, including the first-person view screen pixels, the corresponding depth-map and segmentation-map (pixel-wise object labels), the bird-view maze map, etc. The valid actions include almost all the keyboard-stroke and mouse-control a human player can take, accounting for moving, turning, jumping, shooting, changing weapon, etc. ViZDoom can run a game either synchronously or asynchronously, indicating whether the game core waits until all players’ actions are collected or runs in a constant frame rate without waiting.
