// Simple starter World
// 3d-effect World (really a 2-D problem)
//
// Hero = agent = pacman.
// Enemy moves randomly.
// Movement is on an invisible grid of squares
//
// 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.

// === Start of tweaker's box ========================================================================================
// ===================================================================================================================
// The easiest things to modify are in this box.
// You should be able to change things in this box without being a JavaScript programmer.
// Go ahead and change some of these. What's the worst that could happen?

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