Introduction

It was on March 11, 2020 that the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the coronavirus pandemic. During this same period, Italy was the main focus and then the USA took the place. In March 17, 2020 many countries in Africa was closed borders and banning flights from elsewhere. Covid19outbreak is a single-player simulator strategy board game. Player start with 100% of life and priority is to save patient.

Object of the game

By looking for the way to save patient, player must avoid Sars-Cov II and keep its life. If he save all patients player wins otherwise the game begins very difficult.

Gameplay

During the game, player must be stratege by finding a plant and avoiding Sars-CovII in their way. If player touches viruse and have a plant, he kill viruse. If player touches viruse without a plant, he looses some percentage of life and he contaminates environment. Patient is unstable due to collision with viruses.

Rule

Starting-positions

Player starts in bottom of screen with 5 virus, 7 patients and 5 plants.

Moves

Players can move following theses directions:

• Up, Left, Right, Down

• LeftTop, RightTop, LeftBottom, RightBottom, NOORP

Environment

Observation

The observation is a numpy arrays of size (800, 700, 3). This arrays is a dtype=np.uint8 value in the [0, 255] range. You can see image below.

Actions

The moves is the 8 directions mentioned before. Player can go everywhere in the screen to reach his objective.

agent can move Up, Left, Right, Down, LeftTop, RightTop, LeftBottom, RightBottom in the screen.

Reward

Player have four rewards:

1. If boy hits a plant: reward = 1 + number of plant collected during an episode.

2. If boy saves a patient: reward = 1 + number of patient saved during an episode.

3. If boy hits Sars-Cov II with a plant: reward = 1 + 0.01, 0.01 is a decay life.

4. If boy hits Sars-Cov II without having a plant: reward = - 3 - (1-life).

In beginning of game, player have 100% of life (i.e life = 1) by hitting the viruse without a plant, life = life - 0.01 (i.e %life = %life - 1)

Do not forget that player can contaminate environment by creating two viruses each time after infection.

Episode termination

The episode is terminated if agent looses all its life or saves all patients or kills all viruses.
