"Boid" or "Bird-oid Object" is a simple artificial life simulation created by Craig Reynolds in 1986.
It simulates the flocking behavior of birds, fishes, herd animals and other similar creatures.
All the Boids shown on the left move forward with a constant velocity but steer themselves based on 3 simple rules :
The Simulation allows for the modification of the strength and distance of all three parameters.
It also allows for the modification of the Boid velocity.
Each Boid cycles through colors based on its angle to allow for easier identification of its alignment compared to its neighbors.
