Weighted sums
A weighted sums approach takes all the steering forces into account all the time using fixed
coefficients that weigh each force against every other. While this is very intuitive with a
small number of forces, it can get very hard to balance competing forces together when a
large number of different steering forces are being used.
Typically, this should be your first approach to get the agents to move, but when complex
situations need to be handled, it's better to go with a priority-based approach.
