Scenario Player

I had some time so I made a quick and dirty scenario player at endpoint /player.

You can view an online version of this scenario player at taxi.urzo.online/player

The player uses all the APIs below but with a UI (ugly interface haha)

This is a fun tool to view how the scenarios play out.

Be kind with it though, it's very rough

Static file is at project/templates/player.html if you need to see the code
