Name: DC Floys
Developer: Axlen
Updated: November 18, 2001
Description: DCFloys was never really intended for public release but I thought it looked neat and I found it sort of addicting to play with. Tweaking the various parameters changes the behavior of the critters I got tired of adjusting, compiling, adjusting, compiling... so I added a quick and dirty menu so it could be done in real-time. The purpose of this program was originally to come up with some AI for the invading ships/creatures. I was browsing some AI related sites when I stumbled onto Ariel Dolan's AI website, and saw his Floys Java Applet. The behavior of Floys are rather insect-like compared to Craig Reynolds Boids (bird-like flocking behavior). A good example of a Boids applet is at Conrad Parker's site.
