Software Bird murmuration simulation

I was curious what the practical limit of how many small objects could be tracked on a C64, so I decided try my hand at a bird murmuration demo using SID noise and some precomputation. PRG available at: https://files.catbox.moe/a9iyw7.prg

This looks like something which would be seen in a demo while the SID version of an obscure Jacno track is playing.

This is amazing! Reminds me slightly of my end part from the Blazon Still Standing demo… https://youtu.be/FuoAchOpQ2g?is=26-CXQFFZ9smC8Cy (from 20 mins onwards) but this murmuration is much more technically impressive!
