Craig Reynolds Boids Flocking
Complete emergent behavior simulation with interactive forces, real-time parameters, and visual debugging.
🐦 Watch boids flock together! Click to add boids, hold mouse to attract/repel
Flocking Rules
- • Separation: Steer to avoid crowding local flockmates
- • Alignment: Steer towards average heading of neighbors
- • Cohesion: Steer to move toward average position of neighbors
- • Emergence: Complex flocking behavior from simple rules
Interactive Features
- • Mouse Interaction: Attract or repel boids with mouse
- • Real-time Controls: Adjust flocking parameters live
- • Edge Behaviors: Wrap, bounce, or avoid boundaries
- • Debug Mode: Visualize perception radii and forces
