This is the "official" webpage of pyBoids, the boids program (flocking, herding, schooling simulation) written entirely in Python and made GUI with Tkinter.

This nifty program was written in order to learn Python. Some nice features include multhreading, GUI programming, self-orgranizing systems, etc. It can always be approved and I gladly accept feedback.

Disclaimer: the code is relatively easy to follow, but as it was my first real python program, the code is a bit... "messy".

I apologize for this website. Eventually everything will be moved over to sourceforge or some such (it is--sorta). Or I will create a nicer site when I have more time (which I don't have).
