Basic Atari gaming bot
In this chapter, we are trying a hands-on approach to building some basic gaming bots. We are choosing some famous Atari games that nearly everybody has played at some point in their lives. We choose Atari games because we know how to play them, and that makes our life easy because we can understand what kind of action our bot should perform in order to get better over a period of time.
In this section, we are building our own game. This game is simple, so we can look at how we can apply the Q-Learning algorithms. Here, we will be designing the game world on our own. Let's begin!
Understanding the key concepts
In this section, we will be looking at a lot of important aspects that will help us while coding, so here, we will be covering the following topics:
Rules for the game
Understanding the Q-Learning algorithm
Rules for the game
Before we begin with the basic concepts or algorithms, we need to understand the rules of the game that we are building. The game is simple and...
