Comparing multiple airplane boarding methods
Introduction
Contents
Problem definition
Based on the video about different boarding methods from GCP Gray, I would like to simulate and compare different airplane boarding methods found in the video and possible other sources. The simulation would offer results about how long it takes for passangers board the plane or how often are the passangers stuck in queue, idling.

Variables
people-count
This variable sets how many people will board the plane. Has to be greater than 0. If too high, NetLogo will throw "outside of the boundaries" exception, which means a person was set outside the world area. Lowering the people-count variable or increasing the size of the world area helps fix the issue.
seats-count
This variable sets the number of seats on both sides of the plane isle. If set to 2, there will be 2 seats on the left and two seats on the right. Has to be greater than 0.
luggage-time
Number of ticks a person spends putting their luggage into a luggage compartment. Every person has to put their luggage to a luggage compartment when they reach their designated row. Has to be zero or greater.
person-switch-time
Number of ticks a person spends switching with already seated person if they have to go over that seated person to reach their designated seat. Has to be zero or greater.
