# GameHorizon-Data

The data home of **[GameHorizon Suite](https://gamehorizon-suite.github.io)** — a
unified data and evaluation suite for gameplay capabilities across temporal horizons.
This repository hosts the AAA gameplay recordings, the temporally aligned
keyboard-mouse action streams, the multi-horizon instruction annotations, and the
benchmark question sets.

## 🚀 Release plan

Everything is released here progressively. **The annotator demo and the keybind maps
are live now**; the rest is being prepared.

- [x] 🎬 **`GameHorizon-Annotator-Demo/`** — six annotated scenes to run the pipeline on
- [x] ⌨️ **`keybinds/`** — key-to-action maps for all 21 titles
- [ ] 📊 **GameHorizon-Bench (offline)** — the standardized question sets behind the
      three primary tasks and the diagnostic variants
- [ ] 📊 **GameHorizon-Bench (online)** — task specifications and environment states
      for the stepwise online track
- [ ] 🎯 **GameHorizon-Data (full)** — 5,000 hours of human gameplay across 21 titles:
      4,571 videos at 60 fps, 411.03 M keyboard-mouse events, and 6,184,036
      instructions (5,947,588 short-horizon, 189,158 medium-horizon, 47,290
      long-horizon)

Watch this repository, or the
[GitHub repo](https://github.com/TencentARC/GameHorizon), to follow progress.

## 🎬 `GameHorizon-Annotator-Demo/`

Six annotated gameplay scenes, one folder each. Every folder holds the recording,
the per-frame keyboard-mouse stream, and the three levels of instructions.

| Scene | Game | Frames | Span | Level 1 / 2 / 3 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `ApexLegends` | Apex Legends | 9,972 | 603 s | 191 / 7 / 3 |
| `Cyberpunk2077` | Cyberpunk 2077 | 5,253 | 337 s | 94 / 4 / 1 |
| `EldenRing` | Elden Ring | 9,884 | 632 s | 419 / 8 / 2 |
| `EldenRing_NightReign` | Elden Ring Nightreign | 4,843 | 311 s | 143 / 4 / 2 |
| `GTA5` | GTA V | 4,901 | 313 s | 74 / 4 / 1 |
| `Minecraft` | Minecraft | 5,237 | 331 s | 92 / 4 / 1 |

├── <recording>.mkv                          # full session, 60 fps

```

**`*_annotations_per_frame.json`** — one entry per sampled frame under `frames`,
with the scene's bounds and event counts at the top level.

```json
{
  "scene_name": "...", "interval_start_ns": 0, "interval_end_ns": 0,
  "num_frames": 5237, "stats": {},
  "frames": [{
    "frame_index": 42,
    "timestamp_ns": 1784308897688733400,
    "next_frame_timestamp_ns": 1784308897751233400,
    "width": 1920, "height": 1080,
    "keyboard_events":  [{"timestamp_ns": 0, "event_type": "press", "vk": 32, "key_name": "SPACE"}],
    "raw_mouse_events": [{"timestamp_ns": 0, "dx": -6, "dy": 6,
                          "button_flags": "0", "button_data": 0, "button_flag_names": []}],
    "mouse_events":     [{"timestamp_ns": 0, "event_type": "move", "x": 1279, "y": 822}]
  }]
}
```

`raw_mouse_events` is the Windows RawInput stream: `dx`/`dy` are relative deltas
(`dx > 0` rightward, `dy > 0` downward) and `button_flag_names` holds `RI_MOUSE_*`
constants. `mouse_events` is the derived view of the same input — `move` with
absolute `x`/`y`, `click` with `button`/`pressed`, `scroll` with `dx`/`dy`.

Timestamps are absolute wall-clock nanoseconds shared with the recording, which is
how frames and actions stay aligned. The annotation covers one scene out of the full
session, located through the video's `creation_time`, so keep the recording intact.

**`level_{1,2,3}_instructions.json`** — one entry per clip under `items`, in temporal
order.

```json
{
  "schema_version": 2, "game_id": "minecraft", "level": 1,
  "model": "gemini-3.5-flash", "prompt_version": "detailed-v2-mouse",
  "items": [{
    "scene": "scene_000000",
    "order": 0,
    "level": 1,
    "duration_s": 8.41,
    "instruction": "Strafe right and jump along the crimson cliffside in the Nether ...",
    "source_scenes": [],
    "sampled_frame_refs": ["frames_level_1/scene_000000/000000.jpg"],
    "status": "ok"
  }]
}
```

`source_scenes` lists the lower-level clips a Level-2 or Level-3 instruction was
merged from, which is what links the three horizons into one pyramid.
`sampled_frame_refs` records the frames the model saw.

## ⌨️ `keybinds/`

Key-to-action maps for all 21 titles, one JSON per game: a flat mapping from raw
`KEY_*` / `RI_MOUSE_*` event names to their in-game meaning.

```json
{
  "KEY_W": "Move Forward",
  "LCONTROL": "Sprint",
  "KEY_E": "Open/Close Inventory",
  "RI_MOUSE_LEFT_BUTTON_DOWN": "Attack / Destroy Block"
}
```
