SpreadOutAgent

public SpreadOutAgent(int size,
                      int sight,
                      double maxSpeed,
                      double maxAcceleration,
                      double accelerationFactor,
                      boolean stopWhenNoNeighbors)

Constructs a spread-out agent with the given parameters

Parameters:

size - The agent's radius

sight - The distance the agent can see

maxSpeed - The maximum speed the agent can travel

maxAcceleration - The maximum acceleration for this agent

accelerationFactor - Percentage of desired location to accelerate

stopWhenNoNeighbors - Whether or not to stop when there are no visible neighbors
