This project simulates the flocking behavior of birds. It uses Unity3d engine to implement the Boids algorithm.

Boids algorithm is an emergent-behavior approach that follows three main rules:

1. Cohesion force is applied to local flockmates to steer towards their average position (center of mass) => pulling them toward each other.
2. Separation force is applied to local flockmates to avoid crowding => pushing each other away.
3. Alignment force is applied to local flockmates to steer them toward the average direction => travelling in the same direction.

Cohesion	Separation	Alignment

The red sphere in the images represents the average position (center of mass) of the entire flock.

Additional rules can be applied to the simulation, such as collision avoidance.

Collision Avoidance

We created a demo that simulates a flock of 50 birds. A complete demo can be found on https://omaddam.github.io/Boids-Simulation/.
