A Fun Prototype
When I learned about boids and flocking behaviour, I made a quick "game" to try them. I thought about cavaliers (that you lead with the pointer) charging soldiers, both group could be a flock. There were no scoring system or goal, but the small game was actually fun even without any 3D models or effects (I was using geometric shapes). I thought it could be a great base for a game, so I started improving it.
Boids
Squad of soldiers (both allies and ennemies) and the cavaliers the player controls are boids. I used the common boids alghorithme without too many modifications. I used 4 rules : Alignement, Cohesion, Target, Separation for most of them. Cavaliers also have an Obstacle avoidance rule, that tells them to move around an obstacle even if the player commands them to go there.
