- If not included, periods of training are by default interleaved with periods of testing to evaluate progress.

3. Show boolean
- If included, training will be visualized

4. Train Only boolean
- If included, agent will be solely in training mode and will not interleave periods of training and testing

5. Verbosity boolean
