Instructions

Beyond the Centralized Mindset: Without any centralized organizer of the group, the points self-organize to form a near-perfect circle using two simple rules: 1) Move to maintain a fixed distance from two buddies (for example point7 has as its buddies point6 and point8) 2) Try to move away from all the other points. This approach is called: constraint-plus-noise Use Turbo mode (Shift+green flag) to speed up the organization.
