Movement of Objects in a simulation

Question

i am currently making a flash \"pond\" with fishes in it, and i have the ability to add food pellets onto the pond, how should i make the movement of my fishes to the food x,y l

Answer 1

This is a quick and easy way to do what you're after:

public function moveToFood(food:Food):void
{
    x -= (x - food.x) / 40;
    y -= (y - food.y) / 40;
}

For something a little nicer you'll probably need to look at your own small artificial intelligence for the fish (something like picking the nearest food, moving toward it at a constant pace and then starting to feed on it).
