2D Random Walk

The 2D Random Walk is a web-based application that allows for the exploration of random walks. The application is built with R Shiny and deployed using shinylive. Check out the live application at https://shiny.thecoatlessprofessor.com/2d-random-walk/

With the shiny app, you can:

• Specify the type of walk: Cardinal, Diagonal, or Normal;
• Adjust the step size;
• Manually take one step;
• Automatically take steps;
• Visualize the trajectory of the walk; and
• See statistics about the walk.

Deployment

This application is deployed using shinylive, allowing it to run directly in the browser without requiring an R server. Shinylive converts the R code to WebAssembly, making it possible to run R applications entirely client-side.

Local Development Environment

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/coatless-shiny/2d-random-walk.git

2. Open the central-limit-theorem.Rproj

3. Install required R packages:

install.packages(c("shiny", "ggplot2", "bslib", "bsicons", "shinylive"))

4. Run the application:

shiny::runApp()

5. Check if the application can be converted to {shinylive}:

shinylive::export(".", "_site")
