This was so lovely! I've been trying to piece together the boids algorithm in Unity for a minute now cause it just looks so cool! This was such an awesome demonstration. At first I thought it was cool enough just being among the boids but when I found the food pellets and saw the crazy behaviours that blew me away!
Plus I loved the music in this demo, was it from a free source
Thanks for trying this out! Sweet - I'm stoked that you discovered the food sources. I had hoped that was intuitive enough for players to find.
I went off of this example (source code) as the main basis for the boids algorithm, definitely recommend checking that out if you're curious. All of the code for this game is also open source as well though admittedly it's a bit more complex than the Ben Eater example.
Glad you liked the music! I'm also a musician and created this ambient track in Logic Pro for this game. Incidentally this track is also available on my BandCamp page.

Nice implementation of the boids algorithm. Also I really love the art style!
Hey thx! The boids algorithm is a lot of fun to play around with.

I'm unaware of what I am supposed to do
Thanks for giving it a try! This is just a stylized Boids simulation (Sebastian Lague's video does a good job of describing what this is).
So there's not really an objective or game loop other than to fly around, mess with parameters, acquire food sources, and take screenshots.
oh my bad
Awesome. Really love the art style as well
Hey thanks so much!
