The code on this repository is a answer to a practical exercise of Graphical Computation course of Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais
DEMO: https://matvargas.github.io/flocking/
- The world starts with "creatureNum" creatures, the current default value is 150
- This value can be altered by a slider on the menu
- Each creature is spawn as a three-dimensional polyhedron with random dimensions and colors
- Each creature has it own speed vector and the direction is randomized
- Boids avoid the box walls, the center cone and other boids
- Interaction between boids are calculated by enforcing align, cohesion and separation properties inside a loop that compares each creature on the current instance
- The red ball is the boid's leader, it has bigger values of align and cohesion
- The starting behavior of creatures is undefined, once the red ball starts to move through the scenario, it "collects" other boids to its own gravity
- Align and separate properties of boids are also customizable through the menu
- The camera can walk through the scenario by using mouse commands: -- Zoom in: Scroll down -- Zoom out: Scroll up -- Move right: click + move mouse right -- Move left: click + move mouse left -- Move down: click + move mouse down -- Move up: click + move mouse up
- A light spot is defined in the upper left corner of the box
- The world implements fog once the user zoom out
In order to local run the project, one must open the index.html on the browser. Once file hierarchy has been obeyed, it should work fine.
