I want to make a Maze Game that that a learning AI player which should randomly moves and be able to learn the path that will solve the maze. the maze will have obstacles, colored in RED. when the AI reaches an obstacle, it will start again from the beginning but will have to remember that that path was a bad one. and the Goal Will be Colored in GREEN, then the AI should remember that path to the Goal.

For now the code doesn't have an AI yet, the player basically moves using the keyboards. I would like it to be generated randomly. and store those moves somewhere in an array perhaps.
what should I do next?

Great Script. Thanks a lot for share such interesting Game Script.
