Langton's Ant
Tags for Langton's Ant
Description
Simple little projection of Langton's Ant which is a celluar automatic simulation.
More info on this can be found on wikipedia
The actual plan with this is to extend to it include user defineable squences and have more colors, but as of now i don't feel like taking that challenge :)
After roughly 10.000 steps it will start to build a highway and will never stop doing so unless it encounters a stray black block. The fun end's there.
How to Play
Watch the little ant go flying all around!
It follows the simple rule of black = turn right, white = turn left, and whenever it walks out of a square it flips the color of it.

So how does a simulated cellular automa differ from a real one?
The old life games used to let you pause and toggle squares. You might want to add 'summon ant'. A rule editor (and some presets that do something interesting) would be good to.

Needs music - something abstract and ethereal probably
