====== Scoring ======
The evaluation is divided as follows:
  * Automatic evaluation tests the correctness of the found strategy (matching your returned actions with optimal actions for all states) in several different environments (possibly with different discount factors).
  * Manual evaluation is based on code evaluation (clean code).

^ Evaluated performance ^ min ^ max ^ note ^
| Quality of value iteration algorithm | 0 | 2.5 | Evaluation of the algorithm by an automatic evaluation system. |
| Quality of policy iteration algorithm | 0 | 2.5 | Evaluation of the algorithm by an automatic evaluation system. |
| Code quality | 0 | 1 | Comments, structure, elegance, code cleanliness, appropriate variable naming... |

Automatic evaluation:
  * policy match 95% and more (average on n tested mazes): 2.5 points
  * policy match 90%-95% : 2 points
  * policy match 85%-90% : 1.5 points
  * policy match 80%-85% : 1 point
  * policy match 70%-80% : 0.5 points
  * less than 70% match: 0 points

Code quality (1 point):
  * appropriate comments, or the code is understandable enough that it does not need comments
  * reasonably long (or rather short) methods/functions
  * variable names (substantive names) and functions (verbs) help readability and understandability
  * pieces of code do not repeat (no copy-paste)
  * reasonable memory and processor time saving
  * consistent names and code layout throughout the file (separate words in all methods in the same way, etc.)
  * clear code structure (avoid, for example, unpythonic assignment of many variables in one line)
  * ...
