Link to hosted project: Boid Flocking
Made with JavaScript and visualized with the p5.js library
The boid algorithm consists of 3 rules which apply to the local flock (within a perception distance and a viewing angle):
| Rule | Description |
|---|---|
 |
Separation: Each boid steers to avoid colliding with other boids in the local flock |
 |
Alignment: Each boid steers to align its velocity with that of the local flock |
 |
Cohesion: Each boid steers toward to centre of the local flock |
