Code viewer for World: Cloned Simple World

// ==============================================================
// Simple starter World 
// 3d-effect World (really a 2-D problem)
// Mark Humphrys, 2016. 
//
// Hero = agent = pacman. 
// Enemy moves randomly.
//
// This simple World shows:
// - Texture load from files (asynchronous file reads)
// - Write status to <span> in run window
//
// It also shows functionality that is built-in to every World:
// - Camera control buttons  
// - Pause/step run
// =============================================================================================


// =============================================================================================
// Scoring:
// Bad steps = steps where enemy is within one step of agent.
// Good steps = steps where enemy is further away. 
// Score = good steps.
// =============================================================================================






// These 3 have default values, so this section is optional:

AB.clockTick       = 100;    

	// Speed of run: Step every n milliseconds. Default 100.
	
AB.maxSteps        = 1000;    

	// Length of run: Maximum length of run in steps. Default 1000.

AB.screenshotStep  = 50;   
  
	// Take screenshot on this step. (All resources should have finished loading.) Default 50.
