Inspired by the recent boid animation posted here (sorry cant remember who
by) I thought I would finally have a blast myself.  I have been thinking
about doing this for some time and due to the fact I have some time off work
now seemed a good time to start.

A few little things still need tweaking but I am getting there.  Some of my
boids seem to enjoy firing off booster rockets and leaving the central arena
at break neck speed.  I have put a little bit of code in so if they do that
they get sent back to the origin.  This causes a little bit of weirdness
there so I am going to have to try some alternatives.

The whole boid system follows the standard algorithm for the best part.  My
math is a little rusty so I hope I have interpreted things correctly.

I would like to implement a field of view for each boid but am not sure on
how to do this as of yet.  If anyone has any suggestions please post.

comments, criticism... blah blah as usual
