Description
Info about boids -> [link]"Boids, developed by Craig Reynolds in 1986, is an artificial life program, simulating the flocking behaviour of birds."
This is an improved actionscript 3.0 version of my 'flashy swarm' deviation !! [link]
it's faster .... more buttons and sliders .... more particles !!!!
you can adjust the following parameters :
You can also use your mouse to play with the boids ....
!Warning ! when you have 1000 boids .... don't adjust the intelligence slider !!
If it doesn't work ... you might need to download the newest flash-player [link]
I hope you like it !!

Such a great job! I am new in ac3 and i really want to learn it so i might ask if you can share the script or the .fla of this project. It will mean a lot. Thanks in advance!

I don't have the code anymore I think... And if you are just starting with as3 this might be a bit to much too start with
anyways ... I used this site to learn about the algorithm and pseudo code . I first wrote it in as3 and then optimized it. hope it helps

Very cool! The only point where the programming breaks down is when you hold your mouse still and they catch up. The 'flocking' algorithm doesn't handle that well. They circle and run into each other. I'm not sure what the proper response to that should be. Possibly flying off as a group and re-targeting the courser. I'm a horrible programmer, so I don't know how much work that is, and (of course) it's just my opinion.

When the distance between a particle and the mouse is smaller then 100 pixels the got ttowards the mouse ... when the distance is less then 50 pixels they go away ... so they are kinda trapped when close to the mouse ... it's not that hard to change that behavior

Very cool, especially in context to its purpose.
However, I did chuckle when I noticed that "Intelligence" was spelled "Intelegence."

That's amazing, I love their fluid interactions when they meet and to see what components steer their behavior.
