Move all the options into a configuration.yaml file.
Usage
python rwalk.py config.yaml
if arguments are passed, they will override the options given in the config (but they will not change the file itself). The -c tag should become deprecated.

Highest priority to settings:

1. Config File
2. Command line args
3. Defaults in system.

Example YAML file:

background: [hex or tuple or sub list with r g and b values]
width: <int>
height: <int>
iterations: <int>
thread: <boolean>
noshow: <boolean>
file: [Filename which can include the special word $t which will be replaced with a timestamp]
walkers: 
  - walker_name:
      color: [hex or tuple or sub list with r g and b values]
      position: [random or xy tuple]
      iterations: <int> (overrides iterations for this specific walker)
      margin-[left|right|top|bottom\""]: <int>

For example, Gaussian distribution, upward leaning, downward leaning, circular leaning, right leaning, left leaning

Add a -r or --runs option to run the code several times. This addition will also add a $i special word to the filename so the users can index the files.

if -c some_directory/file.txt is used, then the default filename contains a /

in Yaml

walker:
  ...
  margins:
    left: 12
    right: 13
    ...

When it reaches a boundary, it does not loop to the other side.

walkers:
  - walker:
     ...
     edges: wrap | hard # default wrap should not be a required field.

python rwalk.py --color-hunt [random or id]
random would mean find a random color hunt entry
id would mean find it by id.
