Section 3: Reward Yourself

We have come to the end of this book. We started by first exploring the basics of RL, and then exploiting and enhancing that knowledge in the second section. Finally, we will complete the third and final section by rewarding you by exploring more challenging environments for fun or profit.

This section contains the following chapters:

Chapter 13, 3D Worlds
Chapter 14, From DRL to AGI
