 </AgentQuitFromTouchingBlockType>

14. Add all agent handler functions under the <AgentHandlers> tag:

<AgentHandlers>
   <ObservationFromGrid>{Copy from step 9}</ObservationFromGrid>
   <VideoProducer></VideoProducer> // Copy from step 10
   <RewardForTouchingBlockType>{Copy from step 11}</RewardForTouchingBlockType>
