In this tutorial students will learn the about the three rules used for simulating flocking and begin setting up a project to create a flocking fish scene. Next, students will program their fish with more flocking mechanisms to get them to follow the simulated rules and keep them confined in a boundary. Finally, students will complete the flocking simulation and add obstacles to the fish tank.

1. Flocking Part 1: Setting up Fish Agents
In this tutorial, students will setup a scene with animated fish and spawning functionality before moving onto the next tutorial which will implement flocking.
2. Flocking Part 2: A Basic Schooling Behaviour
In this tutorial, students will get the basic flocking algorithm working to create a simple school of fish.
3. Flocking Part 3
In this tutorial, students will learn how to add variety to the fish schooling by adding moving goal locations and variable speeds.
4. Flocking Part 4
In this tutorial, students will learn how to add a bounds to the flocking simulation to keep fish contained in an area.
