It is based on the same algorithm which was used in Jurassic Park for the herding dinosaurs. +Boids takes an integer argument which is the number of boids. Each time Boids receives a bang, it calculates and outputs the new positions of the boids. The output consists of thew coordiantes for each boid, the number and type depending on the mode. + +The flight parameters can be changed with messages. Use the 'dump' message to output a list of the current parameter settings. + +For more information about the Boids algorithm, see Craig Reynolds' Web site at "http://reality.sgi.com/employees/craig/boids.html". |
