Hammerhead Shark School Coordination (2D)
A top-down boids model of hammerhead sharks holding formation: cohesion, alignment and separation rules drive the school, an ocean current adds turbulence, and an electroreception-coordination slider tunes how tightly the group resists drifting apart.

Stronger electrosensory coordination keeps the school from scattering in turbulent current. Click the water to scare the school toward a bolt heading.
