@bnut BAH! The sticky edges were due entirely to a bug in my projection code. The box size is just slightly less than 1 so that it fits in my collision detection grid and when projecting z, I failed also to project x and y. Now they no longer stick which leaves the cube edges somewhat less visible.

Here's a changing projection shape.

@bnut Flocks on a box

I let the simulation run for several minutes before recording. The edges do appear to be a bit sticky causing the flocks have a bias to moving parallel to them, but particles are only briefly trapped there before being pulled away.

@bnut Swarms on a seam

The particles try to move in 3-D, but then their position is constrained so that z = abs(x).

Still seems to work with this particular set of forces, though it's not all that easy to see in this low-res, short animation.

Meanwhile, there are teams of bees out in the backyard scoping our spare beekeeping gear looking for new housing. Swarm season typically doesn't happen until late February. Southern California. Wildfire weather, high winds, winter. (ostensibly, it's winter) #beekeeping #swarming

* early days I'm sure

...write a work breakdown structure that can be used during development (e.g., in ). Additionally, this breakdown provides opportunities for and , which can actually help you complete a planned user story within an iteration.

What value do you see in estimating your work?
