[ale] [OT] Two weeks in, the difficulties mount

[Leam Hall]

Christopher,

I'll be honest. After reading your e-mail and looking at your code, you 
seem to be further along than where I expect to end up any time soon. 
You are certainly welcome to join, but I'm not sure how much you'll 
learn from it. The GitHub thing location I'm using is

https://github.com/LeamHall/ale_lcthw

That should answer a couple questions; let me know if you have others.
