Are you settling them to a random colour as they clone or changing colour by x as they clone. Or will they detect colour of boids in range and shift to that colour

@griffpatch

Жыл бұрын

Ah, in my new version I change their colour when they move off screen and appear on the opposite side. But the colour I set is based off timer * 10 (or something) + an offset. The offset is 0, 50, 100 or 150 depending on which edge it goes off. I also set the brightness to a random number at the start + - 10 or something

Wow! Your direction trick is amazing! A while ago I used trig to point in the direction of movement and it was such a pain, but I got there in the end.

I can't comprehend the amount of creativity and problem solving skills you have...but I still love it!

That was a lot of very clever math. I personally found it genius the position difference to actual distance to make a straightforward math equation to calculate how tight the turns need to be.

This is insane. I'll try to implement it with pygame and python. Thanks for such a interesting lesson ☺

Griffpatch, you are genies!😄 Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!

I counted around 101 mentions of boid. But I also lost count somewhere around cohesion... Ah boids! I had a not so great game jam submission where you would have minions that acted like boids, and you could direct them towards enemies. That was around when Sebastian Lague posted their own video on Boids. Each step just makes you more excited for the next!

Out of all the tutorials, I would've never expected boids!

YES ! A VIDEO ! Love you're videos ! Continue like that !

This helped me in one of my games i used the direction trick thank you it helped me after 2 hours of raging not being able to get the directions to be able to work this helped me for my game!

A couple of tips. 1. If you add a "set color effect to boid count *5" line to the bottom of the Calculate subfunction, the boids will change color based on the number of other boids in the flock. 2. If you want a more visible "avoid mouse pointer" function, multiply the range by 1.5 and the negative separation by 10: the boids will then rapidly flee from the mouse pointer, like fish fleeing a disturbance at the surface of the water. 3. By using separation rather than negative separation, you can also get the boids to swarm towards the mouse pointer, rather than away from it.

if you use the script at 9:31 but instead of randomly positioning the boids, you set them all to the centre, you get a really cool pattern

@@griffpatch the boids basically explode outwards, and then start coming together in various groups until they all rejoin in the centre.

I just got this working in python (unfortunately couldn't figure out angle to a coordinate in order to change the direction of boids, i'll look into that soon), and it was so satisfying when i first saw them align to each other!

For the direction you can use math.atan2(-speed-y, speed_x) to get the angle in radians of the boid

Hey Griff! Amazing tutorial I have an idea for a game that you could maybe make a tutorial for and it would be useful to create tons of new and exciting games! It would be tile based like the Mario game but you could move around like an RPG. You would need to destroy trees to make pallets (basically tiles made out of wood) to make a small base. Then, after 30 seconds or so, a few zombie hordes appear from offscreen to attack you. You would need to hit them a few times to kill them, and every horde would be stronger, faster and bigger. By the way, are we gonna see more Mario tutorials? the last one was part 20 where we made the Star and the finish goal, but so many new things could be added, like underwater levels that you can swim on, pipes that take you to other sub-levels, the tanooki leaf (which frankly was the best item of SMB3 that really adds another dimension to the game) and other ideas from the comments. It's probably really exhausting for you to make all those videos on the same topic though, so do it on your own pace. Thanks for all the amazing tutorials, they were the ones that brought me to Scratch!

Congrats on 400,000 scratch followers!
