Boids

This is a pretty cool exercise, though it's designed for the PIC32 microcontroller, which most of us don't have access to. It does demonstrate emergent flock behaviour pretty well though. "Just like in nature, each boid does not have global knowledge of every other boid in the flock. Instead, each can only see boids that are within its visual range and that are within its smaller protected range. These are tunable parameters. A boid will move away from other boids that are within its protected range (birds don't want to fly into each other), it will attempt to match the average velocity of boids within its visible range, and it will tend toward the center of mass of boids in its visible range."
