fig09.	flocking ability estimation. [cwr][afd] A simulation sequence from experiment exp01_01. A set of 100 animats was randomly distributed in a radius of 60 body lengths. The animats had random initial flight speed and flight direction. Triangles represent animats, with the apex indicating the flight direction. Grey triangles are stragglers, blue triangles are flocking animats and dark blue triangles are flock leaders. Orange triangles depict colliding animats. The green circle surrounding the animats represents the roosting boundary and the light grey checkerboard represents a measurement aid (a tile is 5 body lenghts in size). The title bar shows the current state of the simulation: simulation step, cumulative number of collisions (c), number of flocks (f), number of stragglers (s), proportion of leaderless flocks (plf), average flight speed (v) and average nearest neighbour distance (nnd).

fig12.	globular cluster initial formation. [cwr][afd] A simulation sequence from experiment exp02_14. A set of 19 animats was forced in a precisely polarized globular cluster formation and observed as it self-organized. Triangles represent animats, with the apex indicating the flight direction. Grey triangles are stragglers, blue triangles are flocking animats and dark blue triangles are flock leaders. Orange triangles depict colliding animats. The light gray checkerboard represents a measurement aid (a tile is 5 body lenghts in size).

A set of 19 animats was forced in a precisely polarized front line formation and observed as it self-organized. Triangles represent animats, with the apex indicating the flight direction. Grey triangles are stragglers, blue triangles are flocking animats and dark blue triangles are flock leaders. Orange triangles depict colliding animats.
