Boids algorithm

This project is a personal implementation of the classic Boids flocking algorithm, originally developed by Craig Reynolds in 1986.

The simulation reproduces emergent group behavior through the implementation of the three core rules:

• Separation: avoiding crowding nearby agents.
• Alignment: matching velocity with neighboring agents.
• Cohesion: steering toward the center of nearby agents.

The system was developed using plain JavaScript and HTML, focusing on vector math, real-time updates, and rule balancing to achieve stable and natural-looking movement.

Key learnings:

• Steering behaviors and vector-based movement.
• Parameter tuning for emergent behavior.
• Managing multiple agents efficiently in a real-time simulation.
