Pygame Boids Implementation

This is a Pygame implementation of the Boids algorithm, which simulates the flocking behavior of birds.

Usage

Run the main.py script to start the simulation. You can add boids or obstacles by clicking on the screen. The behavior of the click (whether it adds a boid, an obstacle, or a "bad" obstacle) can be toggled by clicking the middle mouse button. Debug can be accessed by left-clicking the mouse.

Dependencies

• Pygame library (version 2.5.2 used)

Project Structure

• main.py: The main script to run the simulation.
• utils/boid.py: Contains the Boid class which implements the behavior of the boids.
• utils/obstacle.py: Contains the Obstacle class which implements the obstacles that the boids can interact with.
