All forces are calculated using the distance between the sheep and the other object, $z$, denoted by $d_z$, and are of the following form:  \[  F_{a,b}(d_z) = b(1-\sqrt{d_z/a})_+ b(1-\sqrt{\frac{d_z}{a}})_+  \]  and where the direction of the force is given by the angle of $z$ relative to the sheep.  Note that the force function is paramaterized by $a$ and $b$, which have a simple interpetation: $a$ is the maximum distance of the force, and $b$ is the magnitude of the force when the distance is $0$.
