Find the IP Address of the computer you are running the game on, and put it in the URL of any web browser to connect and play. You must launch the game from the 'Flock Together - Shortcut.' You will not be able to connect to the game if launched from the regular executable. Using the 'HappyFunTimes' plug-in for Unity, Flock Together supports unlimited local players, who connect to the game using a phone, tablet, or any device that can connect via web browser. 'The idea is that this principle of keeping your options open might be connected to intelligence, and as quantitative scientists we can build a model that shows us what the consequences of that are.Made as part of a 5-day game jam, Flock Together is a game where birds must work together to stay in formation, and avoid imminent death via meteor shower. If you are an individual you would live in a very boring world, you wouldn't be able to interact with your neighbours, or in the context of our society, to request tasks or provide services. We would argue that having a social organisation like a bird flock, because you're all together and social, you collectively gain much more freedom than you would if you were an individual. 'This is a deep question in science, the emergence of social co-operation. Professor Turner adds: 'People should ask themselves how they make decisions in their own lives-do they make decisions instinctively or are they trying to optimise something? This latest research also suggests that this principle may be a fundamental tool for information processing agents and perhaps help to define intelligence itself. The discovery has applications in a host of fields such as in robotics, drone swarms, farming and even CGI graphics, where creating realistic swarms is seen as a gold standard. Chess algorithms would build tree searches of future lines of play and then select those lines that give them the maximum future options, among other factors. The algorithm is similar to 'tree searches' that have been used for a number of years in applications like chess programs. All of these things look remarkably similar to what you get in animal systems.' 'We start from this low-level principle and are able to predict that these agents will move together, what density they will target, what kind of level of order they'll target.

That begs the question of whether this principle is actually the fundamental organisational principle in birds, and possibly in all intelligent life? It looks like it generates dynamics that are extremely similar, even at the quantitative level, to a bird flock. Professor Matthew Turner, from the University of Warwick Department of Physics, said: 'We adopted a hypothesis that birds are agents that want to maximise their future freedom, and then we asked what the consequences are of that. This demonstrates that there is a fundamental advantage to the 'birds' in working together.

The way they move together resembled animals in several ways, including cohesion (they stick together), co-alignment (they fly in roughly the same direction as their neighbours) and collision suppression, none of which were specifically programmed into the model. They then programmed them with an algorithm based on the principle of Future State Maximisation (FSM), so the 'birds' would move to maximise the number of different visual environments that they expect to be able to access in the future. They created a computer simulation, using bird flocks as a model, in which the 'birds' perceived a visual representation of the world around them, as if through a simple retina. The researchers sought to gain a better understanding of collective motion, like that seen in a flock of birds, a herd of animals, an insect swarm or a human crowd. The research was partially funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation. The discovery by Henry Charlesworth and his supervisor Professor Matthew Turner published on 15 July in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences provides a clue to the emergence of social co-operation in animals by explaining how individuals gain greater advantages by working in groups. Using flocks of birds as a model, they have shown that birds of a feather will indeed flock together to maximise the information they have access to and to give them the most future options when flocking.
