ethicalgardeners.constants.MAX_PENALTY_TURNS

ethicalgardeners.constants.MAX_PENALTY_TURNS = 10

Maximum number of turns used to normalize the well-being penalty.

This constant defines the maximum number of turns without income after which an agent receives the maximum well-being penalty (-1.0). It is used in the RewardFunctions.computeWellbeingReward() function to normalize the penalty given to agents who haven’t earned money, using the formula:

• min(agent.turns_without_income / MAX_PENALTY_TURNS, 1.0)

The higher this value, the more lenient the system is towards agents that go for longer periods without harvesting and selling flowers.
