//! Classic mountain car environment (discrete actions).
//!
//! A car is placed stochastically at the bottom of a sinusoidal valley. The
//! only actions are accelerations left, none, or right. The goal is to reach
//! the flag on top of the right hill.
//!
//! Based on Andrew Moore's `PhD` Thesis (1990).
