Gorillas: Family Group Structure (2D)

A silverback-led family group loops through a forest clearing on a plain canvas. Some members act as sentinels: raised danger risk makes them flag alerts more often, and higher leader influence recruits more of the group into sentinel duty.

This 2D companion keeps the same sentinel-behavior mechanic as the 3D original — a leader-anchored group circling a clearing, a subset of members rotating into sentinel duty, and probabilistic alerts — on a plain canvas so the group-size, danger-risk and leader-influence effects on cohesion and alert frequency are easy to read at a glance.

⚙ Under the hood

Each gorilla orbits a shared target on a deterministic path; a subset act as sentinels whose alert probability scales with danger risk, while leader influence controls how many of the group take on that role each cycle.
