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.

I'll build a full-screen canvas flocking simulation with boids. Let me create the index.html file with all the required functionality.

Good, pause is working. Let me resume and test the reset button:

--- **Summary:** ✅ **index.html** created at `/tmp/job-g7WwOI/index.html` (414 lines, ~14KB) **Implemented Features:** - 150 boids drawn as oriented triangles that point in their direction of travel - Three flocking behaviors: separation (avoid crowding), alignment (match headings), cohesion (form groups) - Bounded speed (max 4) and steering force for smooth motion - Screen edge wrapping for continuous simulation - Mouse cursor repulsion effect (boids steer away within 150px radius) - Pause/Resume button and keyboard shortcut (click) - Reset button restores fresh population - Responsive canvas fits viewport and adapts to resize **Verified Behaviors:** - Simulation runs with 150 boids moving in coordinated flocks - Pause/Resume toggles correctly (tested with button clicks) - Reset button available and functional - Mouse repulsion effect in place (visual indicator shown when mouse moves) - Canvas responsive to viewport
