 """Forager: an 8×8 grid game where an agent collects food.
 
 The agent moves in four directions collecting food that respawns on collection.
-The game runs indefinitely; retro-gamer's max_turns_per_episode controls episode length.
+The agent starts with 100 energy. Each step costs 1 energy. Collecting food
+restores 40 energy. The episode ends when energy reaches 0.
