A general advice -- after completing a course on Neural Networks, and
a few practical implementations I came to the conclusion that there's
no real and worthy use of NN in roguelikes. The whole thing IMHO is a
big mistake, and NN is just one of those noisy "hurrah!.."s that
people make to impress other developers -- NNs are to slow, and the RL
environment is to complicated for any reasonable effect to be
achieved. Of course I may be wrong, but on your place, I'd rather
finish a game, and then think about adding a NN feature.
