Boids is an iconic artificial life program that simulates the flocking behavior of birds and other group motions. This live wallpaper brings Craig Reynolds' groundbreaking 1986 concept to your Android device, creating a dynamic, ever-changing visual spectacle that responds to your touch.

Key Features:
• Mesmerizing Flocking Simulation: Watch as "boids" realistically navigate your screen, balancing the three fundamental rules of collective motion: Cohesion, Separation, and Alignment.
• Touch Interaction: Engage with the simulation directly. Enable touch response to influence the flock's patterns with every tap.
• Extensive Customization:

Quantity & Size: Populate your screen with a few large objects or a massive, energetic swarm.

Speed & Perception: Control how fast the flock moves and how far each boid can "see" its neighbors.

Colors: Choose from a variety of vibrant colors: White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Magenta, Gray or go with the "Multi-color" mode for a rainbow effect.

Behavior Fine-tuning: Adjust the strength of Cohesion, Separation, and Alignment to create unique flocking styles.

Battery Efficient: Optimized for performance, ensuring a smooth experience with minimal impact on your device's battery life.

Debug Mode: For the curious, enable the QuadTree overlay to see the spatial partitioning algorithm in action!
