AntWorld: Ant Colony Simulator

Thousands of ants. Zero scripting. Every trail, tunnel, and war is emergent, grown from simple rules, not programmed by us.

Each ant only knows three things: sense pheromones, drop a trail, carry food home. Watch what happens when thousands of them do that at once: foraging highways form, tunnels get carved, and the colony reshapes itself around the queen, live, with no cheating.

You don't control the ants. You shape the world they live in.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Dig tunnels and carve chambers through procedurally generated underground terrain
- Drop food and place rocks to redirect the colony's growth
- Trigger food blooms, tunnel collapses, predator raids, and seasons
- Watch pheromone highways emerge from nothing but ant logic
- Speed up to see colony-scale patterns, or slow down to follow a single ant

REAL ANT SIMULATION, NOT AN ANIMATION
- Each ant has 3 pheromone sensors, energy, and its own steering logic
- Castes: worker, queen, raider, each with different roles and stats
- Up to 4 colonies can compete, raid, and fight for territory
- No two worlds are the same: terrain, food, and tunnels generate fresh every game

A RELAXING WATCH, AN INTERESTING SYSTEM
There's no win condition and no timer. Sandbox mode is built for the kind of app you leave running in the background and check on, like a lava lamp that also happens to be a colony simulator. Dig a tunnel, drop some food, and watch the highways rebuild themselves around it.

If you liked SimAnt, Dwarf Fortress, or just staring at an ant farm as a kid, AntWorld is that itch, rebuilt from scratch as a real-time simulation.
