Cops and Robbers

A research game designed to simulate biological systems. This game models a scenario where a "cop" and a "robber" move on a toroidal matrix, similar to chess kings or rooks, with the goal of determining the probability of capture under various conditions.

Features

• Toroidal Matrix: The matrix wraps around like a torus, allowing movement through the walls.
• Probabilistic Movement: The cop and robber can move randomly with defined probabilities.
• Turn-Based Simulation: The game proceeds in a turn-based manner, with the robber moving first.
• Customizable Parameters: Adjust movement length, randomness, and other parameters to explore different scenarios.
• Extended Functionality: Future features include obstacles, additional agents, and more.

Parameters

• rob_drunk_pct and cop_drunk_pct: Probability that the respective players move randomly.
• rob_move_len and cop_move_len: Number of moves allowed for the robber and cop per turn.
• rob_loc and cop_loc: Starting locations of the robber and cop.
• diagonal_move: Allows for diagonal movements.
• pass_move: Allows characters to skip their move.
• multi_game: Enables running multiple game simulations to calculate average results.
• max_iter_per_game: Maximum number of iterations per game.
