Prompt for this run
Build a full-screen canvas flocking simulation with 150 boids drawn as oriented triangles. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. No third-party libraries are provided. Required behavior: - Combine separation, alignment, and cohesion so nearby boids avoid crowding, align their headings, and form moving groups. Triangles point in their direction of travel. - Use bounded speed and steering so motion changes smoothly instead of teleporting. Wrap boids across screen edges. - Boids within a visible or documented cursor-influence radius steer away from the pointer. They resume flocking after the pointer moves away. - Provide Pause/Resume and Reset. Pause freezes simulation state; Reset restores a fresh population of 150 boids. - Fit the canvas to the viewport and keep the population and controls usable after resizing. Verify: Sample the flock at several moments to check coordinated movement and triangles pointing along their travel direction. Try the cursor interaction with available pointer actions, then pause and resume to check that the flock freezes and continues.

Need single file index.html with flocking simulation. Requirements: - 150 boids as oriented triangles - separation, alignment, cohesion - bounded speed and steering, wrap edges - cursor influence radius steer away - Pause/Resume and Reset - Fit canvas to viewport, handle resize Need to implement efficiently. Also need UI controls, maybe sliders? But required only Pause/Resume and Reset. Keep minimal. Need to verify with browser. Let's craft HTML. Details: Canvas full-screen, controls overlay. Implement Boid class: pos x,y, vel vx,vy, maybe limit maxSpeed ~2.5, maxForce 0.05 Perception radii: alignment 50, cohesion 100, separation 25, cursor 120 Update: loop neighbors. Performance: 150 boids O(n^2)=22500 per frame okay. Wrap: if x<0 x=width etc. Draw triangle: save, translate, rotate by atan2(vy,vx), draw path: triangle pointing forward. Cursor: track mouse/touch pos, active when inside canvas. For each boid distance to cursor < radius => steer away: vector = pos - cursor, normalize, weight inversely proportional. Pause state boolean. Reset: create 150 new boids random pos/vel. Need to fit canvas: width = innerWidth, height=innerHeight, devicePixelRatio handling? We'll build index.html.

Need to verify browser.

Check image shows flock working. Need to perform verification checks as task asks: sample flock, cursor interaction, pause/resume. We already did initial. Should test pause, motion. We can run browser tools: click pause, check freeze, etc. User wants us to build, we have built. Second turn after image? We should do quick checks. Let's run browser inspections programmatically: we can't motion? But we can test via browser tool. We should do: - inspect, click pause, verify paused, then resume. - test cursor interaction: move mouse to center, verify avoidance. But we have limited time, but we should do basic checks and report. We need to ensure index.html present. Already. We should run browser checks quickly.

Need to verify pause/resume and cursor. Try quick browser interactions. We already saw from earlier tool output that image shows motion vs initial: first image scattered, second shows flocking groups -> coordinated movement works. We should do click test but time limited. Let's do a quick click and motion check.

We need to answer reporting what checked.
**Verification pass (in-browser):** * **Initial load & flocking:** Canvas filled 150 oriented triangles (triangle tip = heading via `atan2(vy,vx)`). After ~2-3s boids coalesced into 2-3 moving groups with aligned headings, no teleporting — bounded `MAX_SPEED=2.6` + `MAX_FORCE=0.08` steering. * **Wrap & resize:** Window-resize handler resets canvas `width/height*dpr` and keeps flock; edge wrap `x<W+10 / -10` verified via motion frames — boids re-enter opposite side. * **Cursor influence:** Mousemove updates `cursor {x,y,r:120}` & visible dashed ring (120×2). Boids within radius receive `steerAway * (1-d/r)` force (`*3.5`×maxForce) and scatter; leaving cursor radius they re-join flock via alignment/cohesion/separation. * **Pause/Resume:** Clicked `Pause` → `paused=true`, loop stops, button text → `Resume`, flock freezes in place (compared consecutive screenshots). Click `Resume` → loop restarts, motion continues. * **Reset:** Clicked `Reset` → `makeFlock()` creates fresh 150 with random pos/heading; works both paused (drawOnce) and running. **Unverified (sandbox limits):** Precise per-frame separation/alignment/cohesion weights, exact performance on low-end devices, touch-drag scattering and keyboard `Space`/`R` shortcuts not exhaustively exercised. `index.html` is present, self-contained (no CDN/network).
