WoimsBy Liviu Panait |
An early test of our continuous toroidal field. The flocking worms avoid obstacles and one anothers' heads (their bodies may cross) and move in a pleasant worm-like fashion. You can click on the head and change the length of the worm.
For the interested, the name "Woims" is a play on "Boids", Craig Reynolds' bird-flocking model which won him a techincal Oscar. It was pointed out to us later on that, of course, worms don't flock.
When the head wraps around the screen, the whole worm is transported to the other side. We've fixed this by providing a gutter outside the window area, but long worms will disappear without warning.
