BOIDs + Perception Delay Simulation

Boids (bird-oids) are simulated flocking creatures that demonstrate emergent behavior through simple rules: alignment, cohesion, and separation.

What you're seeing:

• Blue triangles: Actual boid positions

• Red dots: Where other boids perceive them to be

Perception delay creates lag between a boid's actual position and where others see it.

Higher delays show how flocking behavior changes when individuals have outdated information about their neighbors.
