Boids flocking · deepseek-v4.1-flash

Let me build this. I'll write the index.html with a boids simulation.

Key requirements:
- full-screen canvas
- 150 boids as oriented triangles
- separation, alignment, cohesion
- bounded speed and steering
- wrap around edges
- cursor influence radius, steer away
- Pause/Resume, Reset buttons
- fit to viewport, resize handling

Let me write it carefully.

I'll implement boids with position, velocity. Steering behaviors. Max speed, max force. Wrap edges.

Triangle pointing in direction of travel.

Let me write the file.

Now let's run the browser and inspect.

The simulation runs, no console errors. Boids are triangles pointing in direction. Let me verify coordinated movement over time and pointer interaction. Let me check some sampled state via bash? The browser tool only has inspect (DOM) — can't run JS. Hmm. I can use motion to see movement. Let me check pause/resume via click, and cursor interaction.

Let me test pause: click pause button at ~53,31.

The motion frames show groups moving and triangles oriented along direction. Good. Pause button toggled to Resume. The frames after click: hard to tell freeze from stills but the button state changed.

Now test cursor interaction and pause freeze. Let me move pointer into flock and screenshot. The pointer leave resets active though; browser pointermove should keep active. Let me use click/move to a location. There's no pure move action except click/drag. I'll use drag from one point to another — it generates pointermove.

Let me test cursor at a cluster. Also I want to verify pause freezes. I can take two screenshots some time apart while paused and compare pixel positions. But I can't easily diff images. The motion frames are close in time.

Actually there's a concern: `pointerleave` sets active false, but `pointermove` sets it true. In browser screenshot, there may not be a pointer. Fine.

The boids look well-coordinated and triangles point along travel. The colors varying with heading. Good.

One potential issue: velocity coloring hue = 200 + ang*25 gives range but fine. 

Let me quickly verify pointer avoidance by moving cursor to the center of a flock. I'll drag to around (600,530) where a cluster is in first frame. But frame changed. Let me just drag around center and screenshot.

Also check reset button works. Let me click reset at ~130,31.

Let me do cursor drag and then a screenshot.

The cursor influence radius circle is visible, and it's currently at (600,530). There was a cluster near there in the previous frame (at ~835,720 maybe). Let me check avoidance more directly: move cursor next to a cluster and see if the cluster is pushed. But hard to prove. The radius circle renders correctly.

Let me now test pause freeze more concretely. Click pause, take motion (which samples frames over ~1.7s), and I can see if frames are identical. Actually motion output gives 4 frames. If paused, all frames should be identical. Let me do that.

The button currently says Resume? Wait, after the earlier click it said Resume (paused). Then drag didn't change. But the info says "Resume" — meaning currently paused. Wait, in the first motion frames the boids moved. Then I clicked pause. So currently paused. The last two screenshots were taken while paused! That's why boids barely moved between frames 1 and 2 above (they look identical). Indeed the two screenshots after click look... first one at frame after pause, second after drag - they're similar but not identical because a frame may have been drawn just around the click.

Hmm, so the drag test was on a paused sim. Let me resume and retest cursor avoidance.

Actually wait: in the drag screenshot the cursor circle is drawn but boids are frozen. Good - pause works (frozen). Let me resume now (click button) and then drag to verify avoidance.

Let me click Resume.

Resumed. Cursor no longer active (pointerleave probably triggered when clicking? The circle is gone). Good.

Everything works. Let me confirm there's a pointer avoidance effect. I'll place the pointer right near the bottom-right cluster and see if boids part. The cluster is around (1000,720). Drag to there. But clicking controls then moving via drag should set pointer active. Let me drag from (1000,720) to (1000,720) - might not register move. Use small drag.

Actually simpler: drag from (600,400) to (1000,720). Then screenshot immediately to see circle over cluster.

But note pointer.leave after screenshot? Doesn't matter.

Let me do it.

The cursor is at (1000,700), and there is a clear empty region inside the influence circle — the boids that were clustered there earlier have parted / the region is clear. There are boids just outside the left edge of the circle. This demonstrates avoidance.

The simulation works: coordinated groups, triangles oriented, cursor avoidance, pause/resume, reset button available. 

Note: the flock groups moved a lot between frames, that's fine. Everything is good. No console errors.

I'm done. Let me report.
