Package: boids4R 0.3.2

boids4R: Reynolds-Style Boids and Swarm Simulation

Provides deterministic two- and three-dimensional boids and swarm simulations for R. The package implements Reynolds-style separation, alignment, and cohesion rules with optional obstacles, attractors, predators, species parameters, and reproducible frame export. Simulation state is renderer-neutral; optional adapters can hand frame data to visualization packages such as 'ggWebGL'. The model follows Reynolds (1987) <doi:10.1145/37402.37406>.
