Atari Environment wrapper for OpenEnv.
This environment wraps Atari 2600 games via the Arcade Learning Environment (ALE)
and provides a clean interface for RL training.
Supported games include: pong, breakout, space_invaders, and 100+ others.
Args:
game_name: Name of the Atari game (e.g., "pong", "breakout").
obs_type: Observation type - "rgb", "grayscale", or "ram".
full_action_space: Use full action space (18 actions) vs minimal.
mode: Game mode (if applicable).
difficulty: Game difficulty (if applicable).
repeat_action_probability: Sticky action probability (default 0.0).
frameskip: Number of frames to skip per action (default 4).
Example:
>>> env = AtariEnvironment("pong")
>>> obs = env.reset()
>>> print(obs.screen_shape) # [210, 160, 3]
>>> obs = env.step(AtariAction(action_id=2)) # UP
>>> print(obs.reward, obs.done)
