» Langton's Ant 2.0 download web site opinions problem?

Langton's Ant - it's just eye-candy ;-) This program is based on an amazingly simple algorithm - An "ant" is walking across a two-dimensional array of bits, if the bit the ant steps on is 0 (color 2) the ant turns left, if the bit is 1 (color 1) the ant turns right, the bit the ant has just left will be inverted. These simple rules lead to different intermediate patterns but, after three or four million steps, it all ends up in chaos! A minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 is recommended.  author: Markus Welz  required: Windows, Vista  size: 16 k  added: 16-Jun-2008
