Ploids - A Boid Simulator
This game is not designed to run on your device. Add it to a collection to play later, or you can try to run it anyway.
A pretty standard implementation of Boids, but with a focus on how it might be useful in a multidirectional shmup.
LMB: Attract Ploids
RMB: Repel Ploids
Mouse Wheel: Zoom In/Out
MMB: Reset Zoom
Arrows: Pan view.
Hold SHIFT: Pan and Zoom faster.
I'd like to build this out to have all the behaviors discussed in the famous GDC talk : https://www.red3d.com/cwr/steer/gdc99/
I noticed that in this paper Boids are meant to have an Angle associated with their "Neighborhood" of perception, mine don't do that. I might do that next.
