Create a Walker

Creates a walker object for the random walk simulation.

Usage

create_walker(id, pos, grid_size, store_path = TRUE)

Arguments

id

Integer. Unique identifier for the walker.

pos

Integer vector of length 2 (row, col). Starting position.

grid_size

Integer. Size of the grid.

store_path

Logical. If TRUE, stores full path history. Default TRUE. Set to FALSE for performance when path visualization not needed.

Value

A list representing the walker with components:

id

Walker identifier

pos

Current position

steps

Number of steps taken

active

Logical indicating if walker is still active

termination_reason

Character string if terminated, NULL otherwise

path

List of all positions visited (NULL if store_path=FALSE)

store_path

Logical indicating if path is being stored

Examples

walker <- create_walker(1, c(5, 5), 10)
walker_no_path <- create_walker(2, c(3, 3), 10, store_path = FALSE)
