CollectiveMovement: A Unity-Based Simulation of Collective Animal Behavior

Overview

The collectiveMovement repository contains a Unity-based simulation framework for modeling the collective behavior of animals, such as fish schools and bird flocks. This project aims to provide a versatile tool for studying and visualizing the complex dynamics of collective behavior in a virtual environment.

Features

• Simulation of collective animal movement through separation, alignment, and cohesion.
• Customizable parameters for different behaviors.
• Real-time visualization of individual and collective movement.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Unity (Version XYZ or later)
• Basic understanding of Unity's interface and scripting in C#

Installation

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open the project in Unity.
3. Load the main scene to start experimenting with the simulation.

Usage

Components

Fish

• Represents an individual fish in the school.
• Handles individual behavior calculations and movement updates.

Simulation

• Manages the overall simulation environment.
• Initializes and maintains the school of fish.

Customization

• Adjust the number of fish and their behavior weights in the Simulation script.
• Experiment with different parameters to observe varied collective behaviors.
