Craig Reynold's work on flocking was a seminal development in animation and distributed behavior modeling. A link to the original paper from 1987 can be found at:
In this assignment, that will take the place of our first test, you will:
- Read the paper and summarize the approach.
- Describe what boids are. How are they modeled?
- What forces are considered on the boids at each time step?
- Provide pseudocode that would allow you to simulate such a system.
- Provide links to 5 example videos that model flocking in 2D and 3D. Include screen shots of the flocking video and a link to the example.
