Developer’s Description

By Brazos Bayou Software
View a life form simulation of Boids.

Boids were originally invented by Craig Reynolds and are quite simply a model of the flocking, herding or schooling behaviors observed with intelligent life forms. You may have noticed this type of life form simulation in movies such as Disney's Lion King. In this movie, the wildebeest stampede incorporated this model to simulate the interaction of animals. This screensaver has been described as schooling fish, or a group of swarming gnats.
