Display the current fps of the boid simulation as a small overlay in a corner of the window

Currently after the new acceleration vector of a boid (i) has been computed, that boid is updated and put back in the list of all boids. So the (i+1) boid's acceleration is based on the already updated (0 to i) boid's accelerations.

The goal here is to update the acceleration vector of every boid so that the acceleration of the aforementioned (i+1) boid would be calculated based on the non updated (0 to i) boid's acceleration.

Add an Animation.java class that can handle animation based on a SpriteSheet

Implement a quadtree data structure to optimize the handling of boids

Implement a viewing angle on the perception radius, eg :

Don't forget to also modify the way the percetion radius is drawn on screen.

I think that to solve this, we simply need to add a check in the flock method, next to the distance < perceptionRadius checking if the absolute value of the angle between the boid's velocity and the director vector of the line between the boid and the other boid, is inferior the to the viewing angle.

Make the boid able to detect the border of the screen and avoid them

Steer to move toward the average position of local flock-mates

Implement formation flight.
To do this, add the rule that boids should want to have their "view" empty.
