simple.chutes: simulate a chutes and ladder game

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References Examples

Description

This function will simulate a chutes and ladder game. It returns a trajectory for a single player. Optionally it can return the transition matrix which can be used to speed up the simulation.

Usage

1
simple.chutes(sim=FALSE, return.cl=FALSE, cl=make.cl())

Arguments

sim

Set to TRUE to return a trajectory.

return.cl

Set to TRUE to return a transistion matrix

cl

set to the chutes and ladders transition matrix

Details

To make a chutes and ladders trajectory

simple.chutes(sim=TRUE)

To return the game board

simple.chutes(return.cl=TRUE)

when doing a lot of simulations, it may be best to pass in the game board

cl <- simple.chutes(return.cl=TRUE) simple.chutes(sim=TRUE,cl)

Value

returns a trajectory as a vector, or a matrix if asked to return the transition matrix
