| Abstract | The simulation of groups of characters moving in a virtual world is a topic that has been investigated since to 1980s. A widespread approach to this problem is the boid model. In the boid model agents, named boids, simulates the flight of a flock of birds. The keystone of the system is the concept of behavior: for each boid in the flock, a simple geometric calculation based on the positions of a limited number of boids, suggests an acceleration along a certain direction. Mixing more behaviors permits to create more complex behaviors like the boids following each others or avoiding obstacles. Starting from this, we present a system, Massive Battle, that, by extending basic behaviors, reproduces the complex movements of platoons of soldiers marching along a path and even simulates them engaging in a battle. The system is designed for online interactive simulations. |
