Boids steering Library
Oct 8th, 2009, 6:39pm  
I am wondering why there is no Boids library that implements all the steering, avoiding, flocking behavioir. I believe it would be quite useful. So if somebody wants to work on that Smiley
Or is there one i just dont know of?

I could't find a real library here:

http://www.red3d.com/cwr/boids/applet/

But there were some links metioning Java and 'source'.

Thank you but i already know this page, its Craig Reynolds page most of the boid codes are based on. Also the stuff dan shiffman writes about : http://www.shiffman.net/teaching/nature/steering/

i was just wondering why nobody ever took this code and made a library out if it. would be really useful in my eyes.

Thank you for the link!

He mentions OpenSteer around the bottom of the page. Someone I have been talking to in this thread http://www.box2d.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3411 has posted his (partial?) Java implementation of it about 2/3 down the page. Maybe it comes in handy for you?

A library would be a very nice thing for sure.

I've had this very thought myself many times.  This post is a nice reminder, perhaps I can look into turning some of the examples into a library!

i am sure this would be great, as this is an often asked feature/question on this board.

In fact, most of what i did was influenced by mr. shiffman's tutorials and the info in red3d.com.
It'd be really nice to have a lib of this... with space partitioning 'n all.
