[challenge entry] Flight of fancy


Hi there, I guess this should probably go on links, but its relevant to the challenge at hand..

A 'flight simulator' of sorts.

Have a click. Should run in any modern browser.

# So my question is always...
"Are they following each other, or are they all reacting to stimuli the same way?"
(, Fri 6 Apr 2018, 20:36, archived)
# In this case
At least in my simulation, they all share a common goal, although each one might target a slightly different spot. Like, they're not all going to point (100,100,100) but like that spot +/- 50.

One theory is that those flocks work by the members only observing how far apart they are from others. If you were walking down the street with two of your friends, you wouldn't have to worry about where you're going if you just stayed between them. I'd guess that, in that case, changes in direction are dictated by members on the edges of the flock.

Also, hat tip to you, old fellow.

# There's no real difference between those two positions.
If they follow each other, that's reacting to stimuli in the same way; if they're all reacting to stimuli in the same way, in practice that necessarily means they follow each other.

Well I mean yes, there's a difference, but it's a similar kind of difference.

# I've made a couple of images for when Michael Flatley dies
If he gets crushed or run over by something heavy like a cartoon steamroller I've got a "Michael Flatly" pic. If he dies in hospital I've got a "Michael Flatline" one. If he puts on weight and has a heart attack, "Michael Fatly".

Every day I say a little prayer that when he does go, it will be from one of the causes that I've made images for. And it would be great if it was in time for me to post it on b3ta.

I do hope this doesn't sound morbid.
