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.

The user wants me to create a single-page web app with a flocking simulation (boids algorithm). The requirements are: 1. Full-screen 2. Boids with separation, alignment, and cohesion behaviors 3. Drawn as oriented triangles 4. Smooth steering 5. Flee from mouse cursor 6. All in one self-contained index.html file 7. CSS in <style> tag, JS in <script> tag 8. No external resources or network requests I need to implement: - Boid class with position, velocity, acceleration - Three flocking rules: separation, alignment, cohesion - Mouse avoidance behavior - Triangle rendering with orientation based on velocity - Smooth steering using forces and acceleration - Full-screen canvas - Animation loop Let me create this step by step.
I'll create a full-screen boids flocking simulation for you. This will be a complete single-page HTML file with all the necessary CSS and JavaScript embedded.

The file looks good. I can see it starts with the proper HTML structure, CSS styling, and JavaScript code. Let me now test if the file can be opened in a browser to make sure it works correctly.

Perfect! The file has been created successfully. The index.html file is 10,720 bytes and contains the complete boids flocking simulation. Let me provide a summary of what was created.
I've created a complete boids flocking simulation in `index.html`. Here's what the simulation includes: **Features:** - **150 boids** that move with realistic flocking behavior - **Three core behaviors**: separation, alignment, and cohesion - **Mouse avoidance**: boids flee from your cursor with a repulsion radius - **Smooth steering** using acceleration and force-based movement - **Oriented triangles** that rotate based on velocity direction - **Glow effects** and colorful boids with blue-green hues - **Full-screen responsive** canvas - **Fade trail effect** for smooth visual movement **How to use:** 1. Open `index.html` in any web browser 2. Move your mouse around the screen to see boids flee from it 3. Watch the flocking behavior as boids align, separate, and coalesce The simulation runs entirely in the browser with no external dependencies - everything is self-contained in that single HTML file!
TAKE IT TO CODE
A single self-contained HTML file — copy it and open in any browser, or reuse the prompt with your own pi-agent run.
RUN
EVALUATION
Glowing boid triangles flock and trail smoothly with continuous motion; mouse drag/click cause visible flocking response, though shape looks more like streaks than triangles.

MEASUREMENTS
Raw readings from the capture, not a verdict — the grade above is the only judgement. Percentages are how much of the screen changed; the measure under-reports sparse motion on a dark background.
