Quickstart

After installing Gym-Khana, try the included examples.

Running examples

cd examples
python3 waypoint_follow.py        # Pure Pursuit waypoint following
python3 controller_example.py     # P controller centerline following
python3 drift_debug.py            # Drift debugging with visualization

Environment basics

Tip

An environment can be instantiated without extra arguments. By default it spawns two agents on the Spielberg map using the single-track model.

The ego agent index is 0.

reset(options) returns (obs, info). Pass "poses" as a (num_agents, 3) array of [x, y, yaw] per agent.

step(action) returns (obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info). The action is a (num_agents, 2) array of control inputs per agent (see Action System). The reward is the physics timestep. terminated flips on collision or after 2 laps; truncated flips at max_episode_steps.

A working example is in examples/waypoint_follow.py.

Simulation loop

import gymnasium as gym
import numpy as np
from your_custom_policy import planner  # your policy/motion planner

env = gym.make('gymkhana:gymkhana-v0', render_mode='human')

# reset with initial poses for 2 agents
poses = np.array([[0.0, 0.0, 0.0],   # ego agent
                   [2.0, 0.0, 0.0]])   # 2nd agent
obs, info = env.reset(options={'poses': poses})

my_planner = planner()
done = False

while not done:
    actions = my_planner.plan(obs)
    obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(actions)
    done = terminated or truncated

env.close()
