This is a lovely idea.

Emergent simulations are my favorite part of compsci, turning it towards an artistic purpose seems like a good pairing, I might steal it and try my luck with CA or something :)

[edit]

After playing for a bit I feel like it might be good to have the boids number and age limit a little higher by default (there is no correct setting of course, but it probably helps people get an intuition for what it's doing).

Also increasing max speed makes it much more expressive.
