Building the environment

This time, we have much more to define than just the states, actions, and rewards. Building a self-driving car is a seriously complex problem. Now, I'm not going to ask you to go to your garage and turn yourself into a hybrid AI mechanic; you're simply going to build a virtual self-driving car that moves around a 2D map.

You'll build this 2D map inside a Kivy web app. Kivy is a free and open source Python framework, used for the development of applications like games, or really any kind of mobile app. Check out the website here: https://kivy.org/#home.

The whole environment for this project is built with Kivy, from start to finish. The development of the map and the virtual car has nothing to do with AI, so we won't go line by line through the code that implements it.

However, I am going to describe the features of the map. For those of you curious to know about exactly how the map is built, I've provided a fully...
