 TODOs: (that i can remember right now)
 - normalize and/or embed sprite type inputs
 - settle on a network architecture
-- fix lag-frames skipped-inputs bug
 - detect frames when Mario is in a controllable state
 - compute how many input neurons the network needs instead of hardcoding
 - rewrite positions to be relative to Mario
