Good work, I could simulate quite a bit of Boids. And the visuals were really good! It's unfortunate we could not interact the Boids, would have been cool to fight the swarm; but it's still a fantastic demonstration of DOTS!

Yeah, they are moving in 64 groups around the player. It's not super obvious from the player POV. But I'll show it of properly in the show one day!
