Coding Adventure: Ant and Slime Simulations

A small exploration of an algorithm inspired by ants, and some little experiments into simulating some of the behaviour of ants and slime moulds. I hope you enjoy!

    So true, there's this one siple thing that I check once in a blue moon, but last time I decided to automate it. And for some reason, the naive me then thought it would be cool to use C as it should have resulted in a fast and native code (as I wanted it to run at startup, I wanted it to be as light as possible). A week later, I got it working, but at what cost...

    The beautiful thing about emergence is that it can build upon itself as well, resulting in all these layers of emergent phenomena building off of each other, increasing complexity along the way. Atoms interacted with atoms with simple rules, resulting in molecules. Molecules interacted with molecules, resulting in chemistry. Chemistry taking place in different environments with different external stimuli and repeating patterns likely gave rise to organic life through abiogenesis. Life interacting with the environment and the simple rules of evolution resulted in more complex life. And so on. One could also consider civilization as an emergent phenomena of humans interacting with other humans. All of this makes me wonder what the next possible "layers" are or could be.

It seems like you took the “toy simulation example” concept from back then and ran with it, and never got lost into the usual grind of what programming usually is in the industry. It’s absolutely awesome to watch, and your soothing voice, artistic touch, and skilled editing+music bring it to the next level. Truly, thank you.
