Implementation of Craig Reynolds' boids, which simulate the flocking behaviour of birds.
The basic flocking model consists of three simple steering behaviors which describe how an individual boid maneuvers based on the positions and velocities its nearby flockmates:
- Separation: steer to avoid crowding local flockmates
- Alignment: steer towards the average heading of local flockmates
- Cohesion: steer to move toward the average position of local flockmates
(See https://www.red3d.com/cwr/boids/)
I used the Dear ImGui library for the graphical user interface (See https://github.com/ocornut/imgui).
First, clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/ThomasParistech/boids.git
Then, go to the directory and compile it.
cd boids
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j6
Please note that CMakeLists.txt is configured in a such way that the executable is generated in the "bin" directory.
Go to the build directory and run the app
bin/main
