Fast-Time Simulation: Chaos & Playing God

Last weekend, with the help of ChatGPT, I started learning how to do fast-time simulation in Python. Modelling operations in Excel can be fun, but I wanted to step up my game. And since I don’t have access to any full-featured simulation platforms, I thought I would teach myself how to code this stuff.

This process started with background research and creating a schedule I could use for my simulations. Then I built an airport, its apron management processes and a way of tracking the apron’s performance. This weekend, I am playing God.
