+The DeepMind-Atari-Deep-Q-Learner-master.zip file at https://github.com/kuz/DeepMind-Atari-Deep-Q-Learner contains **breakout.bin**.

 Images therefore need to be readable by the Brain.  Use jpg, png, bmp, own format libraries to do this.
-Standardize all images to a standard size to standardize learning.  Do we therefore assume X*Y is pre-set for any image.  The larger that X and Y is will result in more pixels, so more training / longer training needed to process, but more accurate.
