Coding a Boids Flocking Simulation
Boids is an algorithm developed by Craig Reynolds in 1986. It aims to emulate the flocking behavior of birds by applying three simple rules: separation, alignment, and cohesion. In this video, we go over the process of building a boids simulation in Unity. The code for this project, and links to any references I used, are available in my GitHub repository.
