Sheep – Boids

This is a PSP based example of the Boids AI, similar to my previous Boids work.

I created this application to see how well I could make the Boids Artificial Intelligence run on a PSP. It took some doing and with the PSP’s limitations made it even harder. But the end result speaks for itself, although the PSP can’t handle as many entities as I would have liked it did produce a decent example of the AI.

Features:

• Coloured teams of Boids (Sheep)
• Flocking to their own colours (When enabled)
• Eating opposing team colours, if they are smaller (the bigger ones eat the smaller ones)
• More smaller ones spawn when being eaten, to help even the odds
• Team Deathmatch style mode, the AI teams work to try and kill each other, the last colours remaining win… It’s completely random on who wins each time.
