Flock of Birds (boids) With Class and operation overloading takes too much mem

[Dzandaa]

Hi

This is a demonstration showing a Flock of Birds based on Boids artificial life program created by Craig Reynolds.

Using OpenGL, work on Linux and Windows.

Hi again,

I realize that I Didn't manage well operator overloading with a Class (memory eating!!!)

This version is just using records.

The first version just "bricked" my lappy

Hi,
@cbdc

I'm very sorry for that!!!

I didn't find any example with operator overloading in a class.

Just overloading of Records.

The problem come with vector2u.

If anybody have an example with overloading operators in classes, I'm interested (Form based application)

Example:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. operator + (const V1: Vector2; Val: Single): Vector2;
2. begin
3. //      result.X := V1.X + Val; // <-- Solution one crashes because result is not initialized.
4. //      result.Y := V1.Y + Val;
5.  exit(Vector2.Create(V1.X + Val, V1.Y + Val)); // Solution 2 works but didn't free the memory
6. end;
7.

"Bricked"? Rendered indistinguishable from a boat anchor? Surely not... :-)

@Dzandaa You should have put "boids" in the subject line: I'm sure I'm not the only person around here who'd understand the allusion. I remember when this was first discussed in the late 80s, and always find myself thinking of it when I see something like the Rutan Ares.
