SimPy Bank Tutorial with users lining up for a specific counter, and being able to leave the line early

567 views Asked by At

I'm looking at this SimPy tutorial https://pythonhosted.org/SimPy/Tutorials/TheBank.html#several-service-counters and I am wondering how this could be changed to have customers use the same line but use a specific counter? And as a further modification, what if they did not have to wait to be at the front of the line to get to a specific counter?

Background: I'm trying to simulate a line of people lining up to go to a theatre with set seats. Everyone has to line up to get into the theatre itself, but not everyone has to wait for the guy in row 5 to be seated if they are in 6 or greater. And everyone has a set seat (much like a "counter" in the example). I really enjoy my local theatre but I am hoping to be able to simulate a much easier way for people to line up and find their seats.
