What is threshold in Customer on Line 40 in the tick function?

cforster commented 10 years ago

The threshold represents the choice that a customer makes.

Let's say the customer has a .6 threshold for a ride I pick a random number between 0.0 and 1.0. if my number is above threshold, i get on the ride otherwise, i do not, and i check a new ride.

This is a common design pattern for making a weighted random choice.
