There's a couple of comment spams appeared on my blog, and I can't be bothered to click on the convenient links in the notification emails to get rid of them, because then I'd have to manually switch back to the TPD tab.

You have raised a good point there.

Given the rise in the volume and significance of electronic communication, it is important one should not be sidetracked into wasting time dealing with stupid, irrelevant messages from complete strangers that are broadcasted out willy-nilly by idiots.

You should be dealing with your spam instead.

Apparently using bin-lattice spatial subdivision can reduce the complexity of a flocking algorithm from O(n^2) to O(n * k), which resolves into O(n) when k is a constant.

Might try that at the weekend.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the answer I gave approximately an hour ago....

Yeah, they say that but just how often is k a constant when dealing with the binary spacing partitioning trees in your echo chamber? It never works out that way for me, anyhow.

There's lots of things like that that I worked out when I was a games programmer in the eighties, but never actually got around to implementing.

So I've already got a good idea of the data structures and so forth, I just need to choose the least appropriate platform for the implementation.

I think for a flocking animation, JavaScript and DOM manipulation using the YUI Library should be a pretty good place to start.

Rater! Hope it's rubbery!

Knowing little about the algorithm (despite my previous random answer), presumably it just works on the human scale? ( as opposed to Brownian motion or at galactic scales?).

That is, word it work for the kind of analysis being used to design the CERN accelerator where they're trying to map how the particles ...

It's OK. I've just worked out the answer for myself.
