A3: Social Forces

For this project we implemented the below social forces in order to run the listed simulations.

First, calcGoalForce calculated forces as follows:
      agent mass * ((preferred_speed*goaldirection)-velocity)/change_in_time

Second, calcProximityForce calculates forces by creating a vector that is the aggregate of the position of all other agents in the area as well as any walls.

As such, calcAgentRepulsionForces is a sub procedure of calcProximityForce only taking into account nearby agents.

Likewise, calcWallRepulsionForces calculates forces only using the vectors of walls in close proximity.
