Sammanfattning
In nature, it is common for animals to move together in a cohesive pattern, but
without any apparent direction. This is referred to as flocking, herding or schooling
etcetera depending on the species. The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to investigate
whether the basic rules of flocking can be utilised as a gameplay mechanic
to create a fun and realistic looking game. To accomplish this, a strategy game
with flocking as a key feature was created within the Unity and C# environment.
A large focus was put on gameplay elements, such as animations, sound, and visual
appearance, for the players to have a more enjoyable experience. The result is an
entertaining strategy game for two players where each player is in charge of their
own army of troops, that move according to the rules of flocking, battling against
each other on a procedurally generated landscape.
