title: 'boids4R: Reynolds-Style Boids and Swarm Simulation'
version: 0.3.1
abstract: Provides deterministic two- and three-dimensional boids and swarm simulations
  for R. The package implements Reynolds-style separation, alignment, and cohesion
  rules with optional obstacles, attractors, predators, species parameters, and reproducible
  frame export. Simulation state is renderer-neutral; optional adapters can hand frame
  data to visualization packages such as 'ggWebGL'. The model follows Reynolds (1987)
