Snake it don't break it.

There are approximately as many states in a five-by-five game of snake as there are ants on Earth -- about 100 000 000 000 000 000. [1] Problematic. How to deal? Well, we reduce the state space to the eight cells surrounding the ant. I mean snake. Then we use plain Q learning. Probably will try some other function estimator in the future. That will be on-policy though (i.e. uses the same policy to estimate value as it does to choose actions) as opposed to the Q learning which simply takes the next state's best action as the value.
