Explore reinforcement learning by building a turtle-controlled ai agent with q-learning, compare it to a randomly moving turtle, and learn how q-tables converge for multiple targets.
Install the turtle library and numpy, create a blue agent turtle and a green target turtle, draw a square with goto and speed, preparing for Q-learning to find optimal path.
Define a 5x5 state grid and four actions. Train a Q-learning turtle agent with epsilon-greedy exploration, a 100 reward for the goal, and a -1 step penalty.
Visualize the learned q-learning policy by comparing random exploration with always selecting the best action, guiding a turtle agent from start (-100,-100) to the goal (100,100) using a converged q-table.
visualize learning progress in a turtle-controlled q-learning agent by plotting episode rewards with matplotlib, observe convergence, and tune exploration with epsilon 0.05 across 200 episodes.
Save the converged Q-table to a yaml file and load it to guide the turtle-controlled AI agent, enabling faster deployment without re-training.
