Hi, you even ported the hawks and the flocks function. Thanks for the credit!

Thanks, I appreciated your analysis. By the way, Reynolds has been credited in the README since its first version. I first heard of his boids in an introductory AI course (multi-agent systems, search algorithms, adversarial search, CSP, planning, etc.) and I was immediately fascinated by the algorithm

They landed two hours before your comment: cbirds --3d in 1.7.0

I've never played xroach, but you can make the birds escape by pointing at the flock with the cursor

Thanks, I have a local branch where I'm working on a 3D version with a single flock, it should land in a few days

Thanks, glad you like it!

The first commits are from September 2025, when agents were far less capable than now. Later I decided to use AI to implement some features.

As for the value: exploring ideas, techniques and features that would have been impossible to explore completely by hand (if you have a life), and a final artifact that is cool and pleasant to watch in your terminal.

Hi, I'm the creator. Not at all: I started this project completely by hand about a year ago, the first commit is from September 2025, you can check. Then I chose to speed up some features with automatic programming, otherwise I wouldn't have had the time
