A Swift implementation of the Boids algorithm, optimised using Spatial Hash ( & Quad Tree) and Tasks (Actors) for a faster and lightweight simulation.

• Press on screen to enable a seeking object for the Boids to follow and see them dance
• Boid Parameters can be changed during initialisation
• Assistive Menu to change Boid Parameters in real-time, along with pause-play frames feature

• iOS 17.0 or later
• macOS 14.0 or later
• Swift 5.9 or later
• Xcode 15 or later

1. Open your project in Xcode.
2. Select File → Add Package Dependencies
3. Enter the repository URL: "https://github.com/Fasith-23/SimulationBoids2D"
4. Select a version (check tags to find the latest)
5. Add the package

1. Import SimulationBoids2D in the file.
2. Add BoidsView() just like any other view. See Below

import SwiftUI
import SimulationBoids2D

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {          
            BoidsView()            
        }
    }
}

There are 10 boid parameters that can be changed if needed. See Below.

BoidsView(boidParameters: .init(boidCount: 120))
BoidsView(boidParameters: .init(boidCount: 200, steeringForce : 10, searchMethod: .quadTree))  
BoidsView(boidParameters: .init(visibilityRange: 30, searchMethod: .spatialHash))

Alternatively, an UI Menu to change parameters in real time can be enabled

BoidsView(displayMenu: true)

• Switch between Spatial Hash, Quad Tree and Naive algorithms to check the speed and smoothness of the app
• Adjust Boid parameters in real time to see how varying the boids can move
• Pause and go frame by frame if you are keen on a particular boid's movement
