This is a ant colony simulator where multiple colonies complete for food and create more colonies. The green dots are food. A queens first workers are never queens In real life colonies start creating queens when there about 4 years old. The number labeled colonies is how many there has been not how many there are I have not coded males and nuptial flights. Press the flag to reset Use the size slider to change the scale/zoom, you must reset the program afterwards or the the sizes will be messed up until you restart the program. The game does not work properly when the size is below 9 Use the food slider to change the amount of food that generates. Use the speed slider to change how fast the simulation runs. Use the one in queens slider to change how many eggs become Queens and start new nests The colonies variable shows how many colonies Press the show/hide button to hide/show sliders
