Create flock of birds simulation
The logic for a birds flying in a V shape is quite simple. Each bird is using the other birds to reduce their wind resistance but they want to see ahead of them so this creates the shape:
)*(
)*( )*(
Eventually the front bird will get tired and float to the back of one of the two sides, then the V changes making the next bird (right or left) the head of the V.
For the simulation it would be cool to have a the V move around the area (toroidal/wrap around world). Clicking should create a new bird that will make their own movements until they find a V to join (potential for multiple Vs).
Hi there, this seems really interesting and I'd like to work on creating a simulation. However, I'm kinda new and if you could maybe point me to some place where I could see how to start on this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. :)
Sure thing!
- HappyCows fully documented example.
- Wiki has some good documentation around how everything is used.
- API docs for the latest release version.
- Gitter we use as a chat room.
Let me know if you need anything else and you can always message me if you need some 1 to 1.
EDIT: A visual example is Pong if you needed help with the graphics side!
Hi, I've been away from a computer for a while which is why I haven't been able to make much progress. I will begin looking into the examples as soon as I get to a computer again.
I am going to give this a try. I am new to github, I will use the previous explanation of HappyCows as a guideline.
So far, I have forked JALSE and ran the ./gradlew build command with success.
