Instructions

Beyond the Centralized Mindset: Without any centralized organizer of the group, the sprites self-organize to form a near-perfect circle using two simple rules: 1)Move to maintain a fixed distance from two buddies (for example Sprite7 has as its buddies Sprite6 and Sprite8) 2)Try to move away from all the other sprites. This approach is called: constraint-plus-noise

Description

Thanks to dapontes for this idea. Based on Mitch Resnick's wonderful 1995 paper: New Paradigms for Computing, New Paradigms for Thinking https://web.media.mit.edu/~mres/papers/new_paradigms/new_paradigms.html Here is a Snap! version which uses clones: http://snap.berkeley.edu/snapsource/snap.html#present:Username=selimtezel&ProjectName=self-organizing%20clones
