I created a Flocking Simulation in this code. We see birds and bees flocking in nature all the time, but can we create this sort of behaviour on a computer? In this small demonstration, I apply a set of rules to a bunch of triangles so that they behave like a flock of birds... or boids to be precise. This is based on the works done by Craig Reynolds. In it he describes a way to create this kind of a flock of boids in a simulation

# 03. Flocking Simulation 🪶

## Animating a Flock of Birds

I created a Flocking Simulation in this code.

We see birds and bees flocking in nature all the time, but can we create this sort of behaviour on a computer? In this small demonstration, I apply a set of rules to a bunch of triangles so that they behave like a flock of birds... or boids to be precise. This is based on the works done by [Craig Reynolds](https://www.red3d.com/cwr/index.html). In it he describes a way to create this kind of a flock of boids in a simulation, you can find his work [here](https://www.red3d.com/cwr/boids/).
