Question to Flocking.pde
Nov 12th, 2007, 10:48pm  

Hello all,

I have a question to flocking.pde.

Does anyone know if it's really 3D or just 2D?

How can I modify the program so that each boid starts
at a certain point A, flies around and lands on a certain 3D-Point B?

Thanks a lot!

Greetings,

Chrisir

Hi. It is just 2D : it uses Vector3D() to define the location and direction of the boids, but only 2 parameters (x, y) are specified (not z).

To make a boid start at a certain point, see the Boid() constructor :
Quote:
Boid(Vector3D l, float ms, float mf)

'Vector3D l' is it's location at start.

To make a boid flies around and lands on another point, maybe the seek() and arrive() methods could help, but I haven't tried.
