Flocking / Boids Algorithm Simulation
Emergent flocking from local motion rules
Boids flocking with adjustable parameters for structure, density, or dynamics.
What Is Flocking / Boids Algorithm?
Flocking / Boids Algorithm refers to emergent flocking from local motion rules in chaos & complex systems. This page visualizes the phenomenon with interactive controls so you can change parameters and observe how the model responds.
What To Observe
- Watch how the visual pattern or system response changes as you adjust the controls for Flocking / Boids Algorithm.
- Relate each visual change to the core phenomenon shown here: emergent flocking from local motion rules.
- Use repeated runs with one parameter changed at a time to build intuition.
