SPOIDS

My name is Thomas and my entry brings the general idea of the vastly popular video game "Spore" into the environment of using boid particle systems. SPOIDS, as it is ingeniously named, entails the user dragging the mouse across the screen to create an individual "species" of cells. These species currently have their speed, size and color randomly assigned upon creation, and an array list of these groups is logged to make it appear like multiple colonies are living in one environment. I still would like to heavily edit this project, including interactivity between colonies such as bouncing off one another and possibly consuming other species.
