Building a video game bot

Let's learn how to build a video game bot which plays a car racing game. Our objective is that the car has to move forward without getting stuck on any obstacles or hitting other cars.

First, we import the necessary libraries:

import gym
import universe # register universe environment
import random

Then we simulate our car racing environment using the make function:

env = gym.make('flashgames.NeonRace-v0')
env.configure(remotes=1) #automatically creates a local docker container

Let's create the variables for moving the car:

# Move left
left = [('KeyEvent', 'ArrowUp', True), ('KeyEvent', 'ArrowLeft', True),
        ('KeyEvent', 'ArrowRight', False)]

#Move right
right = [('KeyEvent', 'ArrowUp...
