The BW4T task is a common task in HAT research. Make an implementation of it in MATRX that can function as both a default task as well as a showcase for tutorials and examples.

The associated branch will contain fixes/improvements needed to create the BW4T task.

@thaije Progress!
Only the AgentBrain and the SimulationGoal are missing.

As soon as I am done building the entire code I will write a tutorial out of it (see #86).

Nice work @jwaa, looks great! I like the colours :) What are the dimensions of this world?

[jwaa]

This is going slow... especially because it is set up to be quite generic and scalable. Instead a seperate more simplified (and closer to the original BW4T task) version was made for the tutorial (see #86 and #164)

[jwaa]

Removed from milestone Release v2.1.0, as it is too big for now.

@jwaa where can I find which version of the BW4T task?

Is this the simplified version: https://github.com/matrx-software/matrx/tree/master/matrx/cases/bw4t
and this the generic version you are working on? https://github.com/matrx-software/bw4t/tree/dev

And what does the simple BW4T task miss that the big BW4T task does have?

Yes!

Yes!

And what does the simple BW4T task miss that the big BW4T task does have?

As you say; the big BW4T is more generic. It allows for a variable number of rooms, objects to collect, etc. while the simple version is the original one.
