This is a demo of flocking spaceships from the asset packs:
Here’s the project:

@sim do you think this would be a good addition to the built in examples? I was trying to come up with something flashy that might catch people’s eye when they opened Codea the first time. Yours if you want it! 
That’s incredible! So pretty and well shot
Would love to include it. I’m trying to get a beta version of the new editor out but after that I will revisit examples (and App Store screenshots)
That’s really amazing, how long did it take you to put that together ?
I think the Grandkids will love that, are you going to expand it further ?
I did it with Claude in about a day.
I was only thinking of it as a cool Codea demo, but I’d be hella thrilled if you wanted to do more with it.
@UberGoober - I take it Claude is AI. I’ve been playing with ChatGPT and find it a little bit weird. It seems to have a lot of info on Codea and the versions of Codea (hence syntax familiarity and changes with versions). Also Lua and the TLL approach to graphics and other system features. The result of that is I sometimes have to decipher which version of Codea it is best for and code accordingly.
On the demo, I need to digest it and then think about making additions (if I’m up to it). It’s similar to something I played with a good few years ago but never finished.
Might have to lean on your skills a little (edit - a lot).
Here’s what I have found, and I’m honestly surprised that @sim does not have the same experience.
ChatGPT is much better with the API and is much better at getting a project started from scratch.
Claude is better at analyzing and refining the code but can’t usually generate a working project starting from zero.
So I tend to start my projects in ChatGPT and then continue them with Claude.
Also, if you have the chance, use the CLI with the Codea skill in Claude or ChatGPT—it’s kind of magic to see Claude run its own apps right on the ipad!
