••• swarm simulation

Here are a few more flocking experiments, exploring the performance and structure of a swarm with elements of different size and behaviour. There are four setups shown in the video:

• All boids are of equal size and move with the same speed
• The boids have different sizes, but move with the same speed
• The boids have different sizes and act by different behaviours. Small boids are fast and agile, big boids are slow and lazy.
• Generally all boids are equal. If they get compressed by many neighbors, they get bigger and faster. When the danger is over, they get normal again.
