Detailed Description

Animates a Flock like described by Craig Reynolds "Steering Behaviors for Autonomous Characters".

That is default steering behavior of a Flock. Adds its part to each Boid velocity. This is an implementation of irr::ISceneNodeAnimator interface. Other FlockAnimators will look like this class. The key is a automated call to animateNode() each frame within Irrlicht engine.

Member Function Documentation

void FlockAnimatorDefault::animateNode (  irr::scene::ISceneNode *  node, irr::u32  timeMs )

Gets called from irr::SceneManager every frame. Gets a handle to a SceneNode and thus is able to set its position, rendering, etc. Parameters: node  : An ISceneNode* (of type Flock). All Boid of this Flock are iterated and velocity is altered. timeMs  : An unsigned integer with current virtual game time. Time based animation can be done, also start and duration of animation can be controlled with this. Note: Paramter "node" must be of class Flock.

void FlockAnimatorDefault::testSpeedUp (  irr::scene::ISceneNode *  node  )

Same as animateNode() but way faster. Removes three iterations though all Boid in seperate Functions to only one itaration. Parameters: node  : An ISceneNode* (of type Flock). All Boid of this Flock are iterated and velocity is altered. Note: Paramter "node" must be of class Flock.
