    r"""The main OpenAI Gym class.
    It encapsulates an environment with arbitrary behind-the-scenes dynamics.
    An environment can be partially or fully observed.
    The main API methods that users of this class need to know are:
    - :meth:`step` - Takes a step in the environment using an action returning the next observation, reward,
      if the environment terminated and observation information.
    - :meth:`reset` - Resets the environment to an initial state, returning the initial observation and observation information.
    - :meth:`render` - Renders the environment observation with modes depending on the output
    - :meth:`close` - Closes the environment, important for rendering where pygame is imported
    And set the following attributes:
    - :attr:`action_space` - The Space object corresponding to valid actions
    - :attr:`observation_space` - The Space object corresponding to valid observations
    - :attr:`reward_range` - A tuple corresponding to the minimum and maximum possible rewards
    - :attr:`spec` - An environment spec that contains the information used to initialise the environment from `gym.make`
    - :attr:`metadata` - The metadata of the environment, i.e. render modes
    - :attr:`np_random` - The random number generator for the environment
    Note: a default reward range set to :math:`(-\infty,+\infty)` already exists. Set it if you want a narrower range.

        Args:
            action (ActType): an action provided by the agent
        Returns:
            observation (object): this will be an element of the environment's :attr:`observation_space`.
                This may, for instance, be a numpy array containing the positions and velocities of certain objects.
            reward (float): The amount of reward returned as a result of taking the action.
            terminated (bool): whether a `terminal state` (as defined under the MDP of the task) is reached.
                In this case further step() calls could return undefined results.
            truncated (bool): whether a truncation condition outside the scope of the MDP is satisfied.
                Typically a timelimit, but could also be used to indicate agent physically going out of bounds.
                Can be used to end the episode prematurely before a `terminal state` is reached.
            info (dictionary): `info` contains auxiliary diagnostic information (helpful for debugging, learning, and logging).
                This might, for instance, contain: metrics that describe the agent's performance state, variables that are
                hidden from observations, or individual reward terms that are combined to produce the total reward.
                It also can contain information that distinguishes truncation and termination, however this is deprecated in favour
                of returning two booleans, and will be removed in a future version.
            (deprecated)
            done (bool): A boolean value for if the episode has ended, in which case further :meth:`step` calls will return undefined results.
                A done signal may be emitted for different reasons: Maybe the task underlying the environment was solved successfully,
                a certain timelimit was exceeded, or the physics simulation has entered an invalid state.

    If you would like to apply a function to the observation that is returned by the base environment before

    :meth:`observation` to implement that transformation. The transformation defined in that method must be

    In that case, you need to specify the new observation space of the wrapper by setting :attr:`self.observation_space`
    in the :meth:`__init__` method of your wrapper.
    For example, you might have a 2D navigation task where the environment returns dictionaries as observations with
    keys ``"agent_position"`` and ``"target_position"``. A common thing to do might be to throw away some degrees of
    freedom and only consider the position of the target relative to the agent, i.e.
    ``observation["target_position"] - observation["agent_position"]``. For this, you could implement an
    observation wrapper like this::

    :meth:`reward` to implement that transformation.
    This transformation might change the reward range; to specify the reward range of your wrapper,
    you can simply define :attr:`self.reward_range` in :meth:`__init__`.
    Let us look at an example: Sometimes (especially when we do not have control over the reward
    because it is intrinsic), we want to clip the reward to a range to gain some numerical stability.
    To do that, we could, for instance, implement the following wrapper::
