Male Female
Class: Nature of Code
Professor: Daniel Shiffman
A simulations of male and female behavior using flocking and attraction rules.
The idea is to show an interesting behavior that fish demonstrate...
Females are attracted to large males.
But if a male has a female alongside it they will choose him over a larger male who is alone.

How it was done / more details
- If a female is next to a male, she will follow him
- If another male is close by and he has other females following him already, the female will flock towards that male
Eventually the system tends to a few males being followed by several females.
