TextArena Environment

Generic wrapper for any [TextArena](https://www.textarena.ai/docs/overview) game inside OpenEnv. This module exposes the TextArena Env interface through the standard HTTP server/client APIs used by other OpenEnv environments, enabling quick experimentation with the full suite of word, reasoning, and multi-agent games.

Features

• Works with any registered TextArena game (e.g. Wordle-v0, GuessTheNumber-v0, Chess-v0, ...).


• Transparent access to TextArena message streams, rewards, and state snapshots.


• Docker image for easy deployment with Python 3.11 and preinstalled dependencies.


• Example client demonstrating end-to-end interaction.

Docker

Build the container from the project root:

docker build -f src/envs/textarena_env/server/Dockerfile -t textarena-env:latest .

Run it with your desired game (default is Wordle-v0). Environment configuration is handled via env vars:

docker run -p 8000:8000 \
  -e TEXTARENA_ENV_ID=GuessTheNumber-v0 \
  -e TEXTARENA_NUM_PLAYERS=1 \
  textarena-env:latest

Additional environment arguments can be passed using the TEXTARENA_KW_ prefix. For example, to enable hardcore=True:

docker run -p 8000:8000 \
  -e TEXTARENA_ENV_ID=Wordle-v0 \
  -e TEXTARENA_KW_hardcore=true \
  textarena-env:latest

Python Example

The repository ships with a simple client script that connects to a running server (local or Docker) and plays a few turns. Run it from the repo root:

python examples/textarena_simple.py

The script uses TextArenaEnv.from_docker_image to automatically build/run the container if needed. Review the source (examples/textarena_simple.py) for more details and to customize the gameplay loop.
