You're all set for running the program!
- Spin up a web server by running

build.sh - Navigate to localhost:8080 to see the boids! 🐦
This is a quite bare-bones example of a boid flock. There is still a lot to do, and much fine tuning of parameters can be performed. If you want to experiment more with this yourself, this is a good start. Factors such as attractors/gravity, acceleration and interactivity is not present in this demo.
