A simulation that replicates the flocking behavior seen in nature, similar to how birds and fish move cohesively in groups.

This core of this simulation is based on Steering Forces.
Basic Flocking Rules Include
- Separation: Boids steer away to avoid bumping into each other
- Alignment: Boids steer in the same direction as nearby boids.
- Cohesion: Boids steer towards the center of the group.
Predator-Prey Dynamics: A predator chases one group of boids while the others avoid it if it gets too close. I also gave predator ability to shoot projectiles and show explosion with some simple particle effect.
I wanted it to look more cool so I made the camera follow predator in a cinematic way and added unreal bloom effect.
