2D Boid Playground

Flocking behaviour modelled using location, velocity, acceleration, and perception.

Built as a code Kata with the intent of improving my vector math skillz and increasing my experience with the openFrameworks C++ creative coding toolkit.

Movement in Nature

Boids exhibit flocking behaviours in groups according to the Rules of Reynolds: The Perception and Control of Separation, Alignment, Cohesion.

This code was inspired by the Autonomous Agents / Steering Behaviour Chapter in Daniel Shiffman's book The Nature of Code.

I've coded boids before, including a Ruby version and a Processing version.
