Boids Flocking Simulation

Boids Algorithm Explanation

The Boids (Bird-oids) algorithm, developed by Craig Reynolds in 1986, simulates flocking behavior in birds or fish using three key principles:

Boids steer to align their direction with nearby boids.

Boids move towards the center of mass of nearby boids to stay together.

Boids avoid crowding and keep a small distance from each other to prevent collisions.

These behaviors are combined to create realistic, natural-looking flocking patterns.
