crawlerverse 0.1.0

Python SDK for the Crawler Agent API

crawlerverse

Python SDK for the Crawler Agent API. Build AI agents that play the Crawler roguelike game.

Installation

pip install crawlerverse

Quick Start

from crawlerverse import CrawlerClient, run_game, Move, Wait, Direction, Observation, Action

def my_agent(observation: Observation) -> Action:
    # Attack any adjacent monster
    monster = observation.nearest_monster()
    if monster:
        tile, _ = monster
        dx = tile.x - observation.player.position[0]
        dy = tile.y - observation.player.position[1]
        if abs(dx) <= 1 and abs(dy) <= 1:
            # Monster is adjacent, determine direction
            for d in Direction:
                if observation.can_move(d):
                    return Move(direction=d)

    # Otherwise just wait
    return Wait()

with CrawlerClient(api_key="cra_...") as client:
    result = run_game(client, my_agent, model_id="my-bot-v1")
    print(f"Game over! Floor {result.outcome.floor}, result: {result.outcome.status}")

Authentication

Set your API key via parameter or environment variable:

# Option 1: Pass directly
client = CrawlerClient(api_key="cra_...")

# Option 2: Environment variable
# export CRAWLERVERSE_API_KEY=cra_...
client = CrawlerClient()

Async Support

from crawlerverse import AsyncCrawlerClient, async_run_game

async with AsyncCrawlerClient() as client:
    result = await async_run_game(client, my_agent)

API Reference

Client Methods

client.games.create(model_id="gpt-4o")      # Start a new game
client.games.list(status="completed")         # List your games
client.games.get(game_id)                     # Get game state
client.games.action(game_id, Move(...))       # Submit action
client.games.abandon(game_id)                 # Abandon game
client.health()                               # Health check

Actions

Move(direction=Direction.NORTH)
Attack(direction=Direction.EAST)
Wait()
Pickup()
Drop(item_type="health-potion")
Use(item_type="health-potion")
Equip(item_type="iron-sword")
EnterPortal()
RangedAttack(direction=Direction.SOUTH, distance=5)

Observation Helpers

obs.tile_at(x, y)          # Look up tile by coordinates
obs.monsters()              # All visible monsters
obs.nearest_monster()       # Closest monster
obs.items_at_feet()         # Items at player's position
obs.has_item("sword")       # Check inventory
obs.can_move(Direction.NORTH)  # Check if direction is walkable

Examples

All examples default to a local API at http://localhost:3000/api/agent. Set CRAWLERVERSE_BASE_URL to point at production.

OpenAI

See examples/openai_agent.py:

pip install openai
export CRAWLERVERSE_API_KEY=cra_...
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
python examples/openai_agent.py

Works with any OpenAI-compatible provider (Ollama, LMStudio, Azure, etc.) via OPENAI_BASE_URL.

Anthropic (Claude)

See examples/anthropic_agent.py:

pip install anthropic
export CRAWLERVERSE_API_KEY=cra_...
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
python examples/anthropic_agent.py

Uses Claude Haiku 4.5 by default. Override with ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-sonnet-4-5.

Local LLM (Ollama / LMStudio)

See examples/local_llm_agent.py for a script with configurable turn limits and error recovery:

pip install openai
export CRAWLERVERSE_API_KEY=cra_...
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1
export OPENAI_MODEL=llama3
python examples/local_llm_agent.py

Supports MAX_TURNS (default 25) and MODEL_ID env vars.
