These commands are great for playing with the flock dynamics in real time:
birds-size <num> or /118 size <num> ;change the size of the flock
birds-speed <num> or /118 speed <num> ;change the maximum velocity each bird may achieve
birds-force <num> or /118 force <num> ;change the maximum force each bird may accelerate
birds-distance <num> or /118 distance <num> ;change the maximum distance that other birds are to be considered in the same flock as us
birds-separation <num> or /118 separation <num> ;sets how far away from other birds we would like to stay
birds-tolerance <num> or /118 tolerance <num> ;sets how close to the edges of things can we get without being worried
Of course if distance is less than separation then the birds will never flock. The other way around and they will always
eventually form one or more flocks.
