A7: Decision of direction of each move

I'm a bit confused on how we are supposed to choose each move of a single walker based on the calculated probabilities.

Does the walker basically move in the direction with the highest probability or we have to use a cumulative probability method to randomly choose one move?

I would appreciate any elaboration.

You definitely should not choose just the path with the highest probability. You have to use the technique from slide 28 of lecture 17. It explains how to do something with a given probability.    The difference here is that there are more than 2 possibilities, so you have to generalize that a bit.
