We keep the authors' game mechanics, coin-location intervention, neural-network architecture, and PPO update code. We shorten training to about 100,000 steps on one selected level, use smaller batches and a discount factor of 0.99, and supply the classroom training loop and visualizations.\n", "\n", "A policy trained on one level can memorize a route. This exercise shows that successful training need not produce behavior that follows the coin after it moves. It does not reproduce the paper's broad generalization results or establish that the network has an explicit internal goal. The selected level and default random seed make the activity reproducible, but other seeds or hardware may produce different behavior.\n", "\n", "Training samples actions and evaluation samples actions. No checkpoints are selected based on test performance: the final training checkpoint is always tested. The comparison uses three checkpoints chosen by training step, each tested at both coin locations.
