Sea Lion Colony Social Lab (2D)

Top-down 2D sea lion colony: agents huddle around a safe zone, packing tighter as alarm rises while a stronger social bond keeps the colony cohesive — the same huddling mechanic as the 3D scene, distilled to a readable canvas view.

This 2D companion strips the 3D sea lion colony scene down to its core mechanic: huddling. Each agent balances a pull toward the group's safe zone against personal space from its neighbors, so raising alarm compresses the colony while a stronger social bond keeps it packed together even once the alarm fades. A "trigger disturbance" button lets you watch the compression and recovery happen live.

⚙ Under the hood

Top-down 2D colony simulation: agents combine a center-seeking huddle force, neighbor separation, and alarm-driven jitter, with energy that drains under movement and regenerates near the safe zone.
