CS4732 - Computer Animation - Project 3 - Boids of a Feather!!
0This project was interesting. We created three classes of boids: Red, Blue, and Green. They flock with their own, and try to capture another group while fleeing the other. It's rock-paper-scissors with Red--Blue--Green--Red.
They all are enclosed in the cage, avoiding the wall, and they avoid the center sphere. They do not have a wander function, which is why they end up running along the outside most of the time.
The color spazms are battles for dominance. When three colors battle, they can last a long time, indefinitely if there are only those three. The more companions that join, the greater the likeliness the battle will be resolved.
Additionally, ther is a particle emitter in the center of the sphere spewing -lava-. We have a lot of customizable options, but chose to keep lava.
We did run out of time, so not everything works perfectly. Even so, this is still fun to watch. Enjoy!
