The result of a small coding project for my Object Oriented Programming and Design class. The blue things are called boids (short for bird-oids), and they have 4 behaviors they rely upon: - Alignment (trying to align themselves with nearby boids) - Cohesion (trying to stay close to nearby boids)...

Boids is an old programming geek thing to show off swarm behavior. Essentially, you make a bunch of artificial birds (boids, ha!) and make each one follow very simplistic rules. 1) try and stay towards the center of the group 2) avoid hitting your neighbors 3) try and match velocities with you...

A minimalistic implementation of flocking boids in python and OpenGL. These boids (bird androids) follow four rules. 1: Try to move to the perceived center of the flock 2: Avoid colliding 3: Try to match the perceived velocity of the flock 4: avoid moving outside the defined "world"

Blender experimentation using boids. Boids are derived from a simple mathematical formula with each particle behaving based on the particle next to it depending on how you set the parameters. Attack and flee can be entered. Prey or Predator can be entered. Avoidance. Flocking behavior. Neat ...

Here’s a quick demonstration of using A-Life to model complex dynamic systems, such as coevolution. The program is in C# - each boid acts as an individual, and holds it's own genetic identity (which determines both it's behaviour, and shape). The predators also contain their own genetic informat...
