Flocking This model attempts to recreate flocking as based on Craig Reynolds' Boids simulation. Each bird uses three headings to compute its new heading -- approaching their neighbors, aligning with their neighbors, and not crashing into their neighbors. Flocks form without a designated leader. For detailed instructions on using the program, take a look at the info window from the Flocking model.
