this looks super cool!

loved this!! short yet still very informative. I'm all for websites, and yours started out great XD

hi! I haven't played your game yet, just found out about it through your post. Just wanted to say that, having read most of it, I was touched by the amount of love and care you've poured into the game. Completing any game is a huge feat, and one of this scale is... just amazing! congrats!!! 👏👏👏

Dont know how to explain it but I feel like this is one of the best stories I've ever heard

this could be in a portrait hanging on a wall. very beautiful!

this was my first BOIDS implementation, so I’m sure it has lots of flaws!
I’m very open to feedback, so if you have anything to add or correct, please reach out!
for now, it's time to move on...
THERE'S BIGGER FISH TO FRY!

finally, the swimming animation is a very simple, very crude vertex displacement shader

with that, I'm able to change my colors in real time, without any extra texture cost!

to optimize it, I divided its texture into 4 masks, one per channel:
RED marks the eye,
GREEN separates the mouth from the body,
BLUE gives me shadows, and
ALPHA stores the pupil.

for my in-game implementation, I didn't use paper fishes...
instead, I made a very simple 3D fish!
you can see that, on close-up, this model has lots of flaws. BUT, when we look at it in the actual game size, all flaws magically disappear!
it's gamedev baby!!!! 😎

and ALIGNMENT means that they will try to match the velocity of other boids.

SEPARATION makes the boids try to keep a small distance from each other…

and each rule is actually quite simple:
COHESION says that each boid will try to swim towards the average center position of the other boids.

BOID stands for “bird-oid object”, an algorithm developed by Craig Reynolds to simulate flocking.
It's centered around three rules that every boid must follow: COHESION, SEPARATION, and ALIGNMENT.
when we implement these rules simultaneously, we get... nice flocking fish!
