Boids is an implementation of an artificial life program originally developed in the 1980s.

The concept is simple, flocking can be simulated with just three fundamental rules:

- Separation (avoid crashing into other birds)

- Alignment (travel in the same direction as nearby birds)

- Cohesion (get close to nearby birds)

You can view the currently deployed simulation here:
