This is my overbaked version of the classic Boids algotithm, an artificial life simulation first written by Craig Reynolds in 1986. I say overbaked beacuse the original algorithm uses just 3 simple force; Cohesion, Alignment and Separation. Hovever there's a lot of room to add to these rules. Here's list of some things I've included in my version:

  • Predator boids which hunt smaller boids
  • Spatial Hashing for boid and collider lookup
  • Quad Tree for boid lookup
  • Interactions between flocks
  • Obstacle avoidance
  • Swept collisions with static geometry
  • Field of view controls
