While testing module you can use the following keys:
ESC- close module (quit).Space bar- pause/unpause module animation.F11- toggle full screen mode on/off.
Also some modules let you do more actions such as add new object or follow it (Tk boids and Steering by left/right mouse click respectively) and so on.
More information about each screensaver module you may find in each source file docstrings.
This is one of Craig Reynolds flocking behavour implementation using Python and Tkinter Canvas. This code based on BoidsCanvas by Mike Christensen which is written in Javascript using HTML5 Canvas. Some new mechanics were added.
