I have posted some animations based on my flocking algorithm in p.b.a..
Enclosed are two files that can be used to recreate one of my scenes.
First, run the write.pov in povray to create an INC.  Then, run the
read.pov scene to create a series of TGA's.   Set up or INI file for 1
frame when you write and 375 frames when you read!

I hope that they are functional.  I only added a few extra comments to
make it easier to understand: it's still a quite bit messy with many
instances of commented out text.  That's just how I work.

Enjoy.

In the write file, line 74 now reads:

#while(tt<framenum+360)//*clock+17)

Whereas it should read:

#while(tt<framenum)

Sorry.

Well, I may as well send out the corrected version,  yes? ......

Fun just to look through the file itself. The POV-Ray version of
collision detection and gravity looks only vaguely familiar ( I say it
like this because that's all I knew of when I did some Basic
programming using the formulations of others.
