@eroeurbano The trick is to let the voltage (or whatever) have a negative curvature with time when left to itself. I use a simple square root function, so that the increase in voltage between two time steps is proportional to 1/sqrt(t). The global voltage increase caused by a flash is just a constant, proportional to 1/N where N is the number of "fireflies". You can of course experiment with your model, but e.g. voltage increasing linearly with time won't work. Let me know how it turns out!
@zigurdu thanks for the help :) but actually it's not very clear to me. Can you address me to some paper or site explaining the equaitions and the system?
I was just assuming that for each firefly the light is a periodic function of time (something like mod(sqr(t),T) where T is the period) and that when one reaches a certain threshold the other "speed-up" their response.
Apparently this model is too simple so I can't get the sync.
Hi, can you please link me to the algorithm you've used?
I'm trying to simulate something similar, but my "fireflies" don't couple so well :)
