Semantic Tile Representation

[schrum2]

Instead of using learned embeddings #37 we could use the semantic data (solid, passable, etc) from the json tile data to represent each token.

Look at these papers:

I'm not sure what they did, but I know these previous researchers used VGLC data to combine multiple games.

This is something to work on after #42 is done. You'll still need to look at those papers first, but whenever you get around to it, try to generalize your approach across several VGLC games. Mario, Mega-Man, Load Runner, and Kid Icarus at least. Maybe Rainbow Islands too. These are all the platformer games.

You can start looking at some papers to get ideas on what to do with this, but I'm certain that this issue will require modifications to the LevelDataset class, and I would like to avoid messing with that until the block embedding issue is further along ( #37 ). However, it could be useful for you and @salasemilio1 to work together on that issue a bit to help resolve it sooner.
