Another actionscript installment of my boid/flocking fascination
You can alter the behavior of the boids with the sliders ....
( warning .... when adding a lot of boids the app might be slow .... )

Boids is an example of emergent behavior; that is, the complexity of Boids arises from the interaction of individual agents (the boids, in this case) adhering to a set of simple rules. The rules applied in the simplest Boids world are as follows:

* separation: steer to avoid crowding local flockmates
* alignment: steer towards the average heading of local flockmates
* cohesion: steer to move toward the average position (center of mass) of local flockmates
