theammir / langtons-ant

• Info

  This is simple Langton's ant simulation written by TheAmmiR and IceFox-L.

• Rules

  There is a grid. Each cell of The Grid can be filled in any color. The Grid is populated by ant. Ant is implemented as one cell of The Grid. Each move the ant fills the cell he's standing on with next declared color and turns left or right. If cell is filled with last set color, the ant fills it with default one.

• Running

  • First, you have to open colors_config.txt and fill it. The template is already in the file - it looks like

    COLOR - DIRECTION
    COLOR - DIRECTION
    COLOR
    COLOR
    

    If you do not set the direction, it is choosing randomly before starting each game. You can see list of possible colors in colorreader.py
