Subject: [PATCH] Checkpoint 1: Create player

I created an agent the shape of a penguin. I used the retro lab to help guide its movement and how to run the program.
The penguin moves left, right, up, and down. I noticed that when I move it over to the far right, the wall disappears. I think that's something I need to work on while figuring out collision detection.
However, my penguin does not move beyond the board.
