**Developing Full-Screen Boids**

I'm currently focused on constructing the core HTML structure and styling to ensure a truly full-screen canvas experience. My next steps involve integrating the JavaScript for the boids simulation itself.

**Implementing Full-Screen Canvas**

I've established the foundational HTML and CSS to achieve the full-screen canvas. Now, I'm setting up the JavaScript to grab the canvas context and begin the animation loop.

**Structuring HTML and CSS**

I'm laying out the foundational HTML with a canvas element and applying minimal CSS to ensure it spans the entire viewport, setting the stage for the boids simulation.

**Designing Boid Vector Math**

I'm concentrating on implementing a robust `Vector` class with essential math operations. This will be crucial for handling boid positions, velocities, and forces accurately, paving the way for complex flocking behaviors.

**Refining Boid Logic**

I'm implementing the core `Boid` class, focusing on its `update` and `flock` methods. This involves defining how boids move, accelerate, and react to neighbors and external forces like the mouse.

**Developing Vector Mathematics**

I've outlined a `Vector` class with essential operations like addition, subtraction, normalization, and magnitude calculation. This foundational component is crucial for accurate boid movement and force application.

**Structuring the Simulation**

I'm setting up the basic HTML structure with a canvas element. The initial CSS is in place to ensure the canvas fills the entire viewport, preparing the stage for the visual simulation.

**Developing Boid Movement**

I'm implementing the `Boid` class, focusing on its `update` and `applyForce` methods to manage movement based on accumulated acceleration, ensuring speed limits are respected and edges are handled.

**Implementing Boid Drawing**

I've created the `draw` method for the `Boid` class, which renders an oriented triangle on the canvas. This relies on translating and rotating the context to match the boid's position and velocity direction.

**Structuring Vector Operations**

I'm defining a `Vector` class to encapsulate 2D vectors and their common mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, magnitude calculation, normalization, and limiting. This is fundamental for all boid movement.

**Setting Up Canvas and Styles**

I've established the basic HTML structure with a canvas element and applied CSS to make it fill the entire viewport, creating the necessary visual space for the simulation.

**Designing Boid Class Structure**

I'm outlining the `Boid` class, defining its core properties such as position, velocity, and acceleration, and planning its methods for movement, drawing, and applying forces.

**Initializing Simulation Components**

I've set up the initial HTML and CSS for a full-screen canvas, and I'm preparing to implement the core JavaScript logic for the boids simulation.

**Updating Vector Mathematics**

I'm refining the `Vector` class by adding a `dist` method for calculating distance and a `copy` method for creating independent vector instances, enhancing precision for boid interactions.

**Implementing Boid Steering**

I'm developing the `steer` method within the `Boid` class to calculate steering vectors towards a target. This is crucial for flocking behaviors like alignment and cohesion, as well as for fleeing from the mouse.

**Designing Boid Flocking Rules**

I'm implementing the `separation`, `alignment`, and `cohesion` methods within the `Boid` class. These will calculate individual steering forces based on neighboring boids' positions and velocities.

**Developing Mouse Fleeing Behavior**

I'm adding a `flee` method to the `Boid` class that calculates a steering force to move away from a given point, specifically for mouse interaction. This will be combined with other flocking forces.

**Structuring Boid Flocking Logic**

I'm creating the `flock` method for the `Boid` class. This method will orchestrate the application of separation, alignment, cohesion, and mouse fleeing forces, weighing them and applying the combined steering force.

**Integrating Flocking Forces**

I'm updating the `flock` method to combine the steering forces from separation, alignment, cohesion, and fleeing the mouse. This involves scaling these forces appropriately and applying the resultant force to the boid's acceleration.

**Initializing Flocking Parameters**

I'm defining and fine-tuning constants such as `perceptionRadius`, `separationDistance`, and weights for separation, alignment, and cohesion forces within the `Boid` class. This will allow for dynamic flocking behavior.

**Refining Boid Edge Wrapping**

I'm ensuring that the `edges()` method in the `Boid` class correctly handles wrapping boids around the canvas boundaries, allowing for a continuous simulation space.

**Setting Up Boid Array and Animation**

I'm initializing an array to hold all the `Boid` objects and setting up the main animation loop using `requestAnimationFrame` to continuously update and draw each boid.

**Adding Mouse Interaction Listener**

I'm implementing a `mousemove` event listener to track the mouse's position and store it in a global variable, enabling boids to react to the cursor's location.

**Refining Boid Flocking Logic**

I'm currently working on integrating all the flocking behaviors: separation, alignment, and cohesion. The mouse fleeing behavior is also being incorporated to create dynamic steering forces that are then combined and applied to each boid's acceleration.

**Implementing Boid Flocking**

I'm integrating separation, alignment, cohesion, and mouse-fleeing behaviors into the `flock` method. Each force is weighted and applied, with boids now reacting dynamically to neighbors and the mouse cursor for emergent flocking patterns.

**Finalizing Animation Loop**

I've integrated the `Vector` and `Boid` classes into the main animation loop. The boids are now being initialized, updated with flocking logic and mouse interaction, and drawn continuously on the full-screen canvas.

**Structuring Boid Logic**

I'm integrating the `Vector` class and the `Boid` class into the main simulation structure. This includes setting up the canvas, initializing boid array, and implementing the animation loop to continuously update and draw each boid.

**Finalizing Code Structure**

I've integrated the `Vector` and `Boid` classes into the main JavaScript logic, set up the animation loop with `requestAnimationFrame`, and implemented mouse-tracking for interactive fleeing behavior. The boids are now initialized and will be continuously updated and rendered on the full-screen canvas.

**Developing Boid Interaction**

I'm refining the separation logic to provide stronger repulsion at close distances while ensuring boids flee from the mouse cursor effectively. The flocking behaviors are now being combined to achieve emergent, dynamic motion.
