LOL I never did care much for the term "drunkard's walk." It's pretty old fashioned. Also, not descriptive enough. We're talking about Markov processes or Brownian motion, here.... and there are differences... I would recommend addressing the technical specs with a concise/accurate abstraction name, and then wrap it up into a more-user-friendly name, like [blotto], that can handle the best default values, and is more memorable than say d_markov_walk or c_brownian.... e.g. Is it discrete (integer based) or continuous (real/rational)? maybe there should be distinctions or a parameter to tell the difference? d_walk -- discrete random walk c_walk -- continuous random walk walk d walk c etc....
