[...] As with most artificial life simulations, Boids is an example of emergent behavior; that is, the complexity of Boids arises from the interaction of individual agents (the boids, in this case) adhering to a set of simple rules. The rules applied in the simplest Boids world are as follows: - separation: steer to avoid crowding local flockmates - alignment: steer towards the average heading of local flockmates - cohesion: steer to move toward the average position (center of mass) of local flockmates ]]> programming algorithm birds https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:scottjacksonx/b:9eea3f9ab240/ 2011-06-16T04:51:58+00:00 http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1295544154 scottjacksonx programming sorting algorithm https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:scottjacksonx/b:deb920f1d061/
