So, we have our pseudocode, now you'll need to setup UnrealEngine. I'm going to assume you can manage this part, and create a new blank C++ project, and import the starter content package. On to the code. We're going to need a couple of classes 

• BoidData
• UEBoidManager
• UEBoidParameters

BoidData.h

This contains the relevant state information for a single boid. It's position, and it's velocity.

struct UEBOIDS_API BoidData
{
	FVector myPosition;
	FVector myVelocity;
};

UEBoidManager.h

UCLASS(hidecategories = (Tags, Cooking, Actor, HLOD, Mobile, LOD))
class UEBOIDS_API ABoidManager : public AVolume
{

	GENERATED_UCLASS_BODY()

public:

	ABoidManager();
	~ABoidManager();

	TArray<BoidData> myBoidData;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "UEBoids")
	UStaticMesh* myMesh;
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "UEBoids")
	float myMeshScale = 0.01f;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "UEBoids")
	FUEBoidParameters myParameters;

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = "UEBoids")
	UInstancedStaticMeshComponent* myMeshComponent;

	void BeginPlay() override;

	void Tick(float DeltaSeconds) override;

protected:
	FBox myBounds;

	FVector myAABBMin, myAABBMax;
};

 So, let's run through the members.

• myBoidData- A dynamic array of BoidData. We keep this data lean and close in an array to maximise cache efficiency
• myMesh - Lets us specify a static mesh to use for rendering the boids
• myMeshScale - Lets us scale the mesh
• myParameters - A struct of UPROPERTY members for setting parameters
• myMeshComponent - The InstancedStaticMeshComponent we're going to use to render the boids
• myBounds - An FBox we store to save the bounds of the volume
• myAABBMin, myAABBMax - Min and max extents of the Axis-Aligned Bounding Box for the volume. Makes for easier reading later.

 UEBoidParameters.h

 This struct stores some parameters we use to implement the boids algorithms

• myNumBoids- Pretty obvious, how many boids do we want in our flock!
• myAvoidRange - The distance the boids try to avoid other boids within
• myAvoidWeight - A weighting to apply to the avoidance
• myCohesionRange - The range within which boids will be considered for the cohesion algorithm
• myCohesionWeight - A weight to apply to the cohesion
• myAlignRange - The range within which boids will be considered for alignment
• myAlignWeight - A weight to apply to the alignment
• myVelocityMax - A maximum velocity to clamp the boids to
