end a run early #56

Closed dan9thsense closed 5 years ago

dan9thsense commented 5 years ago

Is there some way to end a run early? If we think we have all the food we are going to get, can we tell the run to stop so that we do not continue to lose 1/T reward each step? This would be equivalent to an animal deciding to go to sleep rather than wander around with predators about.

Hi,

There is no way to do this. The tests are set up so this is almost never a good thing to do. The thresholds for pass or fail mean that if you've got enough food to pass within the time limit then it will count as a pass no matter how long you take. The vast majority of tasks count success as collecting the food item (usually just one).
