Rhino.Python - Swarm bridge

Swarm Behavior + Attractor : Agent methods: 1. Align : Move in the same direction as your neighbours. 2. Cohesion : Remain close to your neighbours. 3. Seperation : Avoid collisions with your neighbours. Attractor methods: (Controlling the shape) From starting points move to target points to create bridge. Using swarm simulation in Grasshopper is in this post: Swarm Python GH Component
