# What is SDL?
> Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library
> designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick,
> and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D.

# About this project
## Inspiration
[Video Source](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqtqltqcQhw)
[Modeling Natural Systems Stanford](https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/courses/soco/projects/2008-09/modeling-natural-systems/boids.html)
> Boids is an artificial life simulation originally developed by Craig Reynolds.
> The aim of the simulation was to replicate the behavior of flocks of birds.
> Instead of controlling the interactions of an entire flock, however, the
> Boids simulation only specifies the behavior of each individual bird.
> With only a few simple rules, the program manages to generate a result that
> is complex and realistic enough to be used as a framework for computer graphics
> applications such as computer generated behavioral animation in motion picture films.
## Compatibility
Currently tested only on MacOS arm64.
Feel free to test and open PRs/issues to include/fix for other OS.
