Prompt for this run
Build a full-screen canvas flocking simulation with 150 boids drawn as oriented triangles. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. No third-party libraries are provided. Required behavior: - Combine separation, alignment, and cohesion so nearby boids avoid crowding, align their headings, and form moving groups. Triangles point in their direction of travel. - Use bounded speed and steering so motion changes smoothly instead of teleporting. Wrap boids across screen edges. - Boids within a visible or documented cursor-influence radius steer away from the pointer. They resume flocking after the pointer moves away. - Provide Pause/Resume and Reset. Pause freezes simulation state; Reset restores a fresh population of 150 boids. - Fit the canvas to the viewport and keep the population and controls usable after resizing. Verify: Sample the flock at several moments to check coordinated movement and triangles pointing along their travel direction. Try the cursor interaction with available pointer actions, then pause and resume to check that the flock freezes and continues.

Implementing full-screen canvas boid flocking with controls, cursor avoidance radius, and resize handling.

Initial render looks right — now checking motion, cursor repulsion, and pause/resume.

Pause freezes correctly — resuming and checking cursor repulsion.

Resume works. Now testing cursor repulsion with a drag through the flock.

Done. `index.html` is saved — full-screen flocking sim with 150 oriented-triangle boids (separation/alignment/cohesion, max-speed/max-force steering, edge wrapping), 120px cursor-repel radius with a visible dashed circle + documented label, and Pause/Resume + Reset controls with viewport-fit canvas. What I checked in-browser: - Initial screenshot: 150 triangles rendering over full viewport, controls usable. - Motion frames (~2s): groups move coherently and stay aligned (e.g. bottom group all pointing right), triangles rotate with velocity — coordinated movement and orientation confirmed. - Cursor interaction: drag to (700,400) drew the dashed 120px influence circle with nearby boids pushed to its edge pointing away — repulsion confirmed. - Pause: clicked Pause → "⏸ Paused" overlay + status, flock frozen. Clicked Resume → status back to "▶ Running", motion continued. Remains unverified (time/tool limits): exact 150-count via code inspection only, long-term group stability, wrap-around at exact pixel edges, and behavior after a real window resize (resize handler keeps/wraps positions, but no resize test was run).
