Object-Oriented Programming | Autonomous Simulation
Unity 2022.3.6f1 - MI 486
An object-oriented simulation exploring how autonomous agents interact to create realistic group movement through simple behavioral rules.
THE CHALLENGE
Develop an understanding of object-oriented programming by exploring autonomous movement systems. The goal was to demonstrate how individual agents can interact independently to produce coordinated, lifelike behavior.
MY CONTRIBUTION
Through my undergraduate coursework, I explored object-oriented programming concepts, autonomous agent behavior, and simulation logic. This project strengthened my understanding of how programming structures can support interactive game systems.
PROCESS & DECISIONS
The project explored three fundamental principles of boid simulations:
Separation: Avoiding collisions with nearby agents.
Alignment: Matching the movement direction of neighboring agents.
Cohesion: Moving toward nearby agents to maintain group movement.
By studying these behaviors, I gained experience with autonomous systems, emergent behavior, and their applications in game development.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
This project strengthened my programming and problem-solving skills while demonstrating how simple behavioral rules can create complex, realistic movement in interactive environments.
