Implementation of the Atari emulator

We are now ready to build a simple Atari emulator using gym. As with other computer games, the keyboard input used to control Atari games is as shown here:

w	a	s	d	space
UP	LEFT	DOWN	RIGHT	FIRE

 

To detect the keyboard inputs, we use the pynput.keyboard package, which allows us to control and monitor the keyboard (http://pythonhosted.org/pynput/). If the pynput package is not installed, run the following:

pip install pynput

pynput.keyboard provides a keyboard listener used to capture keyboard events. Before creating a keyboard listener, the Listener class should be imported:

import gymimport queue, threading, timefrom pynput.keyboard import Key, Listener

Besides the Listener ...
