murmuration

A flock of 2200 boids that gathers into words (THISTLE, SHOCK, MURMURATION, BUILD) and murmurates between them. Open index.html in any browser. No build, no dependencies.

  • each particle steers by boids rules: alignment, cohesion and separation (spatial grid, so it stays fast)
  • move the mouse to push the flock
  • click to send a hawk diving through it; the flock splits and reforms behind it
  • space to jump to the next word (auto-advances every 9 s)

Status: runs with 0 errors under browsercheck. Headless software rendering is slow, so words take a while to settle there.
