/// are determined by decisions produced by a linked Brain. Currently, this
/// class is expected to be extended to implement the desired agent behavior.
///
///
/// Simply speaking, an agent roams through an environment and at each step
/// of the environment extracts its current observation, sends them to its
/// linked brain and in return receives an action from its brain. In practice,
/// however, an agent need not send its observation at every step since very
/// little may have changed between sucessive steps. Currently, how often an
/// agent updates its brain with a fresh observation is determined by the
/// Academy.
///
/// At any step, an agent may be considered .
/// This could occur due to a variety of reasons:
/// - The agent reached an end state within its environment.
/// - The agent reached the maximum # of steps (i.e. timed out).
/// - The academy reached the maximum # of steps (forced agent to be done).
///
/// Here, an agent reaches an end state if it completes its task successfully
/// or somehow fails along the way. In the case where an agent is done before
/// the academy, it either resets and restarts, or just lingers until the
/// academy is done.
///
/// An important note regarding steps and episodes is due. Here, an agent step
/// corresponds to an academy step, which also corresponds to Unity
/// environment step (i.e. each FixedUpdate call). This is not the case for
/// episodes. The academy controls the global episode count and each agent
/// controls its own local episode count and can reset and start a new local
/// episode independently (based on its own experience). Thus an academy
/// (global) episode can be viewed as the upper-bound on an agents episode
/// length and that within a single global episode, an agent may have completed
/// multiple local episodes. Consequently, if an agent max step is
/// set to a value larger than the academy max steps value, then the academy
/// value takes precedence (since the agent max step will never be reached).
///
/// Lastly, note that at any step the brain linked to the agent is allowed to
/// change programmatically with .
///
/// Implementation-wise, it is required that this class is extended and the
/// virtual methods overridden. For sample implementations of agent behavior,
/// see the Examples/ directory within this Unity project.
