Multi-threading examples, including a boids simulation in Go Lang

The udemy course for this repo can be found at: https://www.udemy.com/course/multithreading-in-go-lang/?referralCode=D20A3CBD00E90DB2ABF8

This source code has examples of creating threads and inter process communication (IPC) via memory sharing and message passing (such as channels). It also has examples of thread synchronization, such as mutexes, wait groups and conditional variables.

This project uses Ebiten, A dead simple 2D game library in Go for the boids examples. https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten
Found the library is very easy to install and use. Check out some of the games bundled with the lib.
The installation instructions for ebiten can be found here (choose your OS): https://ebiten.org/documents/install.html

To run any of the code examples/scenarios do the following:

cd <goprojects>/multithreadingingo
go build ./...
go run ./<example>

such as:

go run ./boids

Please do get in touch if you have any suggestions/improvements!

This is an owl in a tree and has nothing to do with this project, but I think it's pretty cool:
