[Proposal] Add conda release

[pseudo-rnd-thoughts]

With the ability to make github actions on release, add conda releases to github release workflow

Why not using the standard conda-forge channel?
I'm asking this because it seems to me that the existing tooling built around conda-forge is hard to match with any simpler GH Action, which could mean less maintenance in the long run.

[pseudo-rnd-thoughts]

Agreed, looking at it more, I think we just need to make a staged recipe for the project with each of the options

I have edited the title from channel to recipe

I was looking a bit into it, the first problem I encountered is that pygame is not packaged for Conda (but I guess you knew that already) and from what I could read it looks pretty tricky to package, but I'll try to have a look anyway.

Related issues: pygame/pygame#1953, conda-forge/staged-recipes#19665, pygame/pygame#3320, pygame/pygame#3415.

gym is already in conda-forge, including most of the optional outputs (but stuck on 0.21 due to the addition of the extremely tricky pygame dependency with 0.22). please help us get things packaged there rather than do your own thing. Though the good news is that conda-forge/staged-recipes#19665 seems to be nearing completion...

I apologize for interrupting the thread, but I was curious about the progress of the "Official Conda packaging" mentioned in Roadmap #12. Since February is coming to an end, I was wondering if there are any updates you could share with us regarding the status of this feature. Thank you for your time and efforts!

@h-vetinari has been doing an amazing job on conda, and there already exists a conda install for gymnasium.

We don't have 0.27 yet as there'll be some new dependencies that'll take some work. Join the discussion in conda-forge/gymnasium-feedstock#1 if you want, and any help is always welcome (I can try to help out, but probably won't be able to lead this effort; the gym->gymnasium transition already took a bunch of time I didn't really have planned for this 🙃).

Gymnasium on conda has been updated to the latest version, thank you to @h-vetinari and @ChristofKaufmann for all of their hardwork

Happy to hear it!

Now that we've caught up in terms of versions, it's would probably be worth mentioning under the installation instructions? We also support windows. :)

conda install -c conda-forge gymnasium  # or "gymnasium-all" for all supported optional extensions

[pseudo-rnd-thoughts]

yes, good point, @h-vetinari could you make a pr for this?

This seems to have fallen through the cracks, sorry - anyone else up for it?

[pseudo-rnd-thoughts]

Is this just a documentation update? Sorry, I have forgotten what we wanted to do
