[racket] fruit flies
I wanted to share another small web-world demonstration in Whalesong.
Try this in Google Chrome:
http://hashcollision.org/whalesong/examples/boid/boid.html
Source code:

http://hashcollision.org/whalesong/examples/boid/index.html
What makes this program interesting is that I really am only touching
the left and top css attributes on each clock tick, as opposed to
redrawing the whole scene (as would be demanded in a regular world
program). Inspect Element in Chrome should bear this out.
I should probably call this program "fruit-flies". In any event, this
works on Chrome, but I haven't been able to successfully make it run
under other browsers. I've heard that it works in Safari 5.1 as well.
