Create a full-screen flocking simulation of boids using separation, alignment, and cohesion, drawn as oriented triangles that steer smoothly and flee from the mouse cursor.

**Developing Boids Simulation** I'm focusing on the core Boids behaviors: separation, alignment, and cohesion. I'm aiming for smooth steering and want to integrate oriented triangles for the boids' visual representation. I also want to incorporate fleeing behavior driven by the mouse cursor, and the goal is a fully functional flocking simulation within a single HTML file, without any external dependencies. **Constructing Base Framework** I've set up the HTML and CSS for a full-screen canvas. Now, I'm working on the JavaScript, specifically the `Boid` class. I'm defining properties and methods for movement, flocking (alignment, cohesion, separation), and fleeing. I'm also considering a small Vector class with familiar methods. I'm focusing on smooth steering by calculating acceleration as the difference between desired steering and current velocity.

The flocking simulation is complete and contained within `index.html`. It features boids that use Reynolds' steering behaviors (Separation, Alignment, Cohesion) to move as a flock, interact with the screen boundaries, and flee from the mouse cursor. You can view the simulation by opening `index.html` in any web browser.
