VPython Boids implementation

---

A basic [boids](http://www.red3d.com/cwr/boids/) implementation using the 3 main rules of Boids & 1 global rule

* Seperation

va = sum of inverse distances to neighbors that are too close

* Alignment

vb = average of neighbor velocities

* Cohesion

vc = velocity towards center of mass of neighborhood 

* Global goal to origin

vd = velocity towards (0,0,0) origin of system

Combination of all rules with tweakable weights

```

    v[i] = k0*v[i] + k1*va + k2*vb + k3*vc + k4*vd

```
