RandomWalker: Generate Random Walks Compatible with the 'tidyverse'

Generates random walks of various types by providing a set of functions that are compatible with the 'tidyverse'. The functions provided in the package make it simple to create random walks with a variety of properties, such as how many simulations to run, how many steps to take, and the distribution of random walk itself.
