About Boids Aquarium

A self-contained artificial society. A few hundred boids pair up and drift apart, raise families, age on a Gompertz curve, catch epidemics that spread on an R number, evolve their colours through a shared gene pool, and get hunted — a whole population living and dying inside a single HTML file you can open, steer, and walk away from.
