good first issue

Description

It'd be neat for people to create a new person, specify their schedule of trips, and have that one extra person be present in the main simulation. They can follow that agent and see if the problems of their commute are captured by the game.

If anyone picks this up, let's discuss the general UX of it first.

Research direction
This issue lacks concrete UI specifications. First, discuss the UX with maintainers. Then, explore the existing simulation code (e.g., how agents are created and simulated) and the UI layer (e.g., how the game renders and controls agents). Look at linked issues or comments for prior discussions. Consider implementing a minimal version where a user can input a simple schedule and see the agent in the simulation.
