Currently, the control system is unintuitive. Press A to create one kind of ant, B to create the other, but mostly this is just to watch the ant colonies grow. A couple of additions: 1. Sounds: - the swiping sort of sound is when an ant finds food. - the two piano tones are for each type of ant, when it is created. - the staccato ticking happens when the red and black ants collide and "fight".
I have been a long time SimAnt fan, and while this doesn't really capture any of the rich detail in that game, it was fun to write. I think next steps will be to implement some kind of trail system, whereby an ant bearing food can signal to other ants where to (potentially) find more.
