Each boid doesn't have to think at each frame #118

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Instead, boids can think ever six frames or so.

Good idea. Also, you may have though of this: Boids should have something like 
a thinkFrame field, which is determined when the Boid is created (probably 
simply with a global cyclical counter). Basically something that distributes 
the thoughts, rather than all Boids thinking on the same frame.

Yeah, that was my plan.  A global counter and either grouping the Boids by 
their index mod 5 (or some small constant) or building random groups to make it 
a bit less systematic.
