Separation
Nearby boids push away from each other to avoid collisions. Increasing this creates wider spacing and more nervous motion.
Boids Algorithm Lab
Simulate flocking, schooling, herding, and emergent group motion.
How boids work
Alignment
Boids steer toward the average heading of their neighbors. This creates synchronized flock direction and smooth flow.
Cohesion
Boids steer toward the average position of their neighbors. This keeps the group together without needing a central leader.
