The agent loop

Turn GAME into a decide → act → remember cycle with iteration caps, terminal tools, and a debuggable run() method.

Teaching model: GAME (Goals, Actions, Memory, Environment) as taught by Dr. Jules White / Vanderbilt (e.g. Coursera AI Agents and Agentic AI with Python). Code below is an educational from-scratch recipe so you can wire your own agent — not a copy of course notebooks.
