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.

The simulation is not running due to a few issues: 1. **Cursor Interaction**: The cursor influence logic is not properly integrated with the mouse event listener. The `event` variable is not defined in the `applyCursorInfluence` method. 2. **Boid Drawing**: The triangles are not properly oriented in the direction of travel. 3. **Animation Loop**: The `animate` function is not correctly handling the `isPaused` state. Let's fix these issues. I'll update the code to ensure the simulation runs properly.

It seems the script execution is still failing due to the global `event` variable not being properly initialized. Let's fix the script initialization and ensure the cursor interaction is properly integrated. I'll redefine the `applyCursorInfluence` method and ensure the event listener is correctly set up.

The simulation is now running, but the triangles are not clearly oriented in the direction of travel. The triangles should be drawn as oriented triangles pointing in the direction of the boid's movement. Let's fix the drawing logic for the triangles.

The triangles are still not clearly oriented. Let's refine the triangle drawing logic to ensure the triangles are properly aligned with the direction of travel. I'll adjust the triangle vertices to ensure they are clearly pointing in the direction of the boid's movement.

Let's simplify the triangle drawing logic and ensure the triangles are clearly oriented. The issue is with the duplicate `angle` declaration. I'll restructure the drawing logic to avoid this and ensure the triangles are properly oriented.

The simulation is now running correctly! Here's what has been verified: 1. **Flocking Behavior**: Boids exhibit separation, alignment, and cohesion, forming coordinated groups. 2. **Oriented Triangles**: Each boid is drawn as an oriented triangle pointing in its direction of travel. 3. **Cursor Interaction**: Boids steer away from the cursor within the influence radius. 4. **Pause/Resume**: The simulation freezes and resumes correctly with the Pause/Resume buttons. 5. **Reset Functionality**: The Reset button creates a fresh population of 150 boids. 6. **Viewport Fit**: The canvas adjusts to the viewport size, maintaining usability after resizing. The simulation meets all the requirements, and the visual feedback confirms coordinated movement and responsive interaction with the cursor. The triangles are clearly oriented along each boid's direction of travel.
