• velocity_limits: [0, -20.0, 10, 20.0]
• Limits: [-500, 1500]
• boid_count: 50
• move_to_middle_strength: 0.01
• alert_distance: 100
• formation_flying_distance: 10000
• formation_flying_strength: 0.125
• frames: 50
• interval: 5000

Default values are shown above for illustration

Configuration files are called using the -c command after 'boids' and adding the name of your configuration file.
