Implementation of the Q-learning algorithm. Learns a controller for swinging a pendulum upright and balancing it. Animates the entire process -- you can watch the system explore the state space and begin to get an idea of "good" and "bad" regions. Well-commented code meant to help explain the process. Lots of settings to play with and observe the results!
