Swarm Drones Flying

Caption

The drones explore the environment by flying into different directions. When a drone notices another drone in its preferred direction, it will attempt to fly in a different direction. When this is not possible (as in this picture), the lower priority drones will move out of the way of the higher priority drones. Drones deal with obstacles on the fly, and by doing so enter and exit different rooms.
