This video explores Craig Reynolds’ formula for Steering Behaviors in JavaScript (p5.js) beginning with “Seeking a Target.” Code: thecodingtrain.com/tracks/the-nature-of-code-2/noc/5-autonomous-agents/2-seeking-a-target

0:00 Hello!
1:10 What is the desired velocity for seeking?
2:46 What is the steering force?
5:23 Let's make a Vehicle class from Particle.
6:25 Now we need a target.
6:48 Now let's add code to the seek method!
8:21 What can we do to make this feel a bit more realistic?
9:16 Adding a maximum force.
10:27 Let's do a little clean up.
11:05 What could you try next?
