Flocking Behaviour

• Imagine you have a game with a lot of agents.
• One of the things that can make it hard (or easy) to deal with these agents is flocking behaviour.
• With a few simple rules, they all behave alike.
• An example rule is follow the person in front of you.
• The rules frequently work with separation, alignment and cohesion.
• This means you get attacked by 20 aliens at once instead of 1 at a time.
• This can also make your game look realistic as this behaviour is based on real animal behaviour.
