Swarm script by Apotheus Silverman with mods from Riptide Ramos This script is my implementation of the well-known swarm algorithm which can be found in numerous open-source programs. Due to the specifics of the SL environment, I have strayed from some of the traditional rules slightly. Regardless, the end effect is indistiguishable from the original algorithm.
