In this panel we present a method for recreating the Hamtaro Circle using a flocking simulation based on the Boids framework (Reynolds, 1987). We will provide a basic and accessible explanation of the Boids algorithm, a brief overview and history of the Hamtaro Circle and similar wotagei phenomena, and finally present our own methodology in an easily digestible manner.
