Description:

Flutterby is a simple demo/experiment in Flocking AI Behavior. The system will generate a random number of flutterbys whose behavior is governed by 4 rules.

Rule 1: Fly towards the percieved center of mass of other flutterbys

Rule 2: Keep a small distance away from objects including each other

Rule 3: Try to match velocity with others

Rule 4: Try to reach the goal point

This is based off of Conrad Parker's Boids Psuedocode with a few tweaks here and there from the community.

I have also started to add in some routines to allow the flutterby's to land on the ground and then take off after a set point, but it doesnt work the way it should and is mostly disabled.

Later I will be adding in animations, a larger area, landings, acceleration and other things to help give a more natural behavior and break up the 'formation flying'.

Please keep in mind this is a demo, the code is not that pretty, and Im a newb. Thanks for looking!
