Oli414's Sandbox

Welcome to my sandbox! Here you will find random projects that don't quite deserve their own website, but that I still find be worth sharing.

Queue Simulator

Due to the pandemic in 2020, my graduation internship was cut a bit short. To fullfil the requirements I did a quick personal project to fill the gap. I pitched the idea of a simulator that would allow users to explore the effects of social distancing on theme park queue efficiency. The lecturers were happy to let me do this project.

The queue simulator is made with HTML5 canvas. The webapp contains an editor section where a queue can be drawn using basic vector drawing tools. For convenience some smart snapping tools makes it easy to create right angles. The user can then start the simulation, and change the parameters to affect the ride's capacity, group size distribution and social distancing.

Some interesting challenges that I tackled for this project include:

The webapp is lacking some polish and the controls for the editor are a bit inefficient, but once you get the hang of it it's quite addictive.
