writing space invaders,looking for algorithms!!!

tome...@gmail.com — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 19:46:54 UT

Hi,
I am in process of programming a simple 2d space invaders game for
my nephew.
I am looking for interesting algorithms regarding moving a group of
objects(the nasty invaders) together
For example I am looking for algorithms which can simulate a flock of
birds movement
Or nice curve functions on which the invader will glide on.
