Swarm
This appet demonstrates a simple flocking, or swarming behavior. Each
particle follows three simple rules: follow the leader, attempt to
match neighbors' velocity and stay near the center of the swarm's
mass. If you move the mouse over the applet, the mouse becomes the
leader, otherwise the green particle is the leader and will attempt
an avoidance behavior. Source included!
