ViZDoomErrorException: Could not initialize SDL video #43

Open Wentong-DST opened 5 years ago

Wentong-DST commented 5 years ago

When I'm trying to run notebook in a Linux server environment, it disables monitor device.

Thus I have encountered this error at game.init():

Failed to connect to the Mir Server

ViZDoomErrorException: Could not initialize SDL video:
Failed to connect to the Mir Server

This problem could be solved if we add game.set_window_visible(False) before game.init().

May I suggest adding a try exception block?

Thanks for writing this awesome repo.
