Let us focus on the horizontal motion of the lemmings for the time being. The game is 2D so the motion can only be along a particular axis in a plane. All that stands between The Warriors and their survival are 20 miles and thousands of street gang members.Firstly let us design the movement mechanics. Maybe it's time to reboot our metaphors to fully capture the ferocity of the Norwegian lemming. In fact, lemmings are actually kind of scary. However, the misconception persists today, and the noble lemming continues to be maligned as self-destructively mindless conformists.
This disturbing back story was first reported by the in 1982. What's more, the film claims that the lemmings are jumping into the sea, but Norwegian lemmings are smart enough to know the difference between the ocean and smaller bodies of water. There's no record of brown lemmings dispersing in this way, and they don't live in Norway - or anywhere in Scandinavia. The lemmings in the video are brown lemmings, which live in Canada, where the scenes were shot. As far as we know, only Norwegian lemmings practice mass dispersion. (This has almost certainly helped fuel the myth.) When, they reported that the filmmakers didn't even bother to get the right species. If they do get soaked -which inevitably happens to at least a few unlucky lemmings - they drown and their bodies later wash ashore. They're decent swimmers, just as long their fur doesn't become completely waterlogged. As the subgroups spread out, the tenacious creatures don't let anything get in their way - including small bodies of water. When the group runs out of food, it disperses and the subgroups go looking for a new, food-rich spot to start a colony.
Lemmings reproduce quickly and, in favorable conditions, a population can grow ten times its initial size in one year. The reality of lemming behavior is still fascinating, just not nearly as crazy as many people believe. Here's a key shot of the lemmings from the now-infamous film: Disney via YouTube The problem? The 'documentary' was faked.Īccording to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's blog, Disney filmmakers deliberately and ruined the animal's reputation in the process: The epic 'lemming migration' was staged using careful editing, tight camera angles and a few dozen lemmings running on snow covered lazy-Susan style turntable. No one knows exactly when the myth started, but a 1958 Disney video called which won an Oscar for best documentary feature, has emerged over the years as the likeliest suspect. But if the puffy little rodents could talk, they'd tell a different story: that this claim is bogus. Kgleditsch If you know anything about lemmings, it's probably their reputation for plunging off cliffs in acts of mass suicide. Despite what you have heard, lemmings are not stupid, they don't suicidally hurl themselves off cliffs, and they don't explode. But none of the Intuit stories mention the 'suicide leaps off cliffs'. One myth deeply entrenched in our language is that of the 'Lemming. The lemmings supposedly committing mass suicide by leaping into the ocean were actually thrown off a cliff.
