GOAL
Get the cattle from the first pen into the second.
Introduction
This game is derived from flocking simulators. You can
find many examples of flocking behaviour by
performing an internet search on the keyword BOIDS. This game tries
to emulate the herding behaviour of cattle. Unlike birds, cows tend to
move slower and get distracted. You will notice that these simulated cows
spend some of their time grazing or wandering aimlessly. HINT:
Cattle move away from cowboys, BUT but also try to match the
cowboys heading.
Legend
BROWN SQUARES
are the ranch hands. You can click on them, then click on a destination.
They will move where you send them.
BLACK DOTS are cattle. You can only
influence their movement by surrounding them with ranch hands.
BLACK
LINES are fences. Cows cannot cross fences, but ranch hands can.
BLUE LINES are gates. If you click on a gate, it changes
color. Blue is closed, Cyan is open.
