Create a full-screen flocking simulation of boids using separation, alignment, and cohesion, drawn as oriented triangles that steer smoothly and flee from the mouse cursor.

I'll create a single HTML file with a canvas-based flocking simulation, incorporating a spatial grid for efficient performance and adding interactive sliders for parameter control.

`index.html` created — a self-contained full-screen boids flocking sim. - **Flocking**: separation (inverse-square repulsion), alignment, cohesion, all as clamped steering forces (`desired - velocity`, limited by maxForce) for smooth turning. - **Rendering**: oriented triangles colored by heading hue + speed, optional motion trails via alpha fade, toroidal wrapping. - **Mouse**: boids flee the cursor with a falloff-weighted, stronger-than-normal steer force; click/hold expands the panic radius. Red halo shows the influence zone. - **Performance**: spatial hash grid + flat typed arrays, handles ~1200 boids. - **UI**: sliders for count/weights/vision/speed/flee, toggles for trails, vision radii, pause. Keys: `space` pause, `t` trails, `v` radii, `r` reset.
