Sheep and Dogs[Java] Tricky, but not impossible game of sheepherding with Boids-like movements.

The writing's maybe less than clear on the site, so: dogs follow the pointer; sheep veer away from dogs; once you get the requisite number of sheep in a ring they'll stay there; there's no scoring except self satisfaction.

The most interesting thing is the algorithm generating the movements of the herd.

I don't know who's stupider, those dogs or those sheep.

Done.
All that remains now is an insatiable hunger for (dumbass) mutton.

I like the reference in the title.... about the cutlets.
