Langton's Ant (v. 2.8) Разработано Firefly |
Langton's Ant is actually a two-dimensional cell automaton that evolves by following very simple rules.
It was invented by scientist Christopher Langton in 1986 and helped to highlight an example of emergent behavior.
The two basic rules are:
¤ If the ant is on a black square, it turns right, changes the color to white and moves forward
¤ If the ant is on a white square, it turns left, changes the color to black and moves forward
These simple rules lead to a surprising behavior of the ant:
The ant builds a road that repeat indefinitely
Here are the main features of my implementation:
¤ Changing the speed
¤ Changing the size of the world
¤ Changing the background color
¤ Changin the rules:
- 35 predefined rules
- create your own rules
¤ Creation of multiple states automatons
¤ Add as many ant as you want, simply by touching the screen!
There are many extensions (several colors, states, etc.) but it's up to you to discover them.

[2013-07-16] A Google User: Emergent |
|
[2013-03-13] A Google User: Awesome I love math and science |
|
[2012-12-18] A Google User: Well done! Nice example and a great user interface. All of this developers aps are first rate. For the Maths enthusiast. Seriously consider supporting the developer! |

[2012-04-23] A Google User: Nice one I like games -simulators like this one |
|
[2012-03-11] A Google User: Cool |
|
[2012-01-08] A Google User: Thank you Thx that this is free and the only permission is network connection. You are awesome. |
|
[2011-12-05] A Google User: Awesome Its great fun and really makes you try to come up with new formulas. Great for the few who actually like thinking in life. |
|
[2011-08-27] A Google User: Quite fun, more updates. |
|
[2011-08-27] Anonymous: Quite fun, more updates. |

[2011-07-18] Hh: More like a 4D crossword puzzle on PCP! |
|
[2011-06-30] A Google User: Awesome! I love this app |
|
[2011-06-30] Maker: Awesome! I love this app |
|
[2011-06-05] A Google User: Eventually it looks like a crossword puzzle on meth! Totally amazing, 5 stars, will keep using. |
|
[2011-06-05] A Google User: I love all of your apps! Well executed. |
|
[2011-06-05] Homfrog: Eventually it looks like a crossword puzzle on meth! Totally amazing, 5 stars, will keep using. |
|
[2011-06-05] Dana: I love all of your apps! Well executed. |
|
[2011-06-01] A Google User: Its not crap, when you realize that you can make animations and mathematical structures |
|
[2011-06-01] Darkfeather: Its not crap, when you realize that you can make animations and mathematical structures |
|
[2011-05-30] A Google User: For those that are whining, it's not really a game. It's an animator of the mathematical pattern that is Langston's Ant. A great one at that. |
|
[2011-05-30] Ben: For those that are whining, it's not really a game. It's an animator of the mathematical pattern that is Langston's Ant. A great one at that. |

[2011-05-27] A Google User: If you can appreciate emergence of complexity through simple rules, this is just a great game for you! |
|
[2011-05-27] Snehal: If you can appreciate emergence of complexity through simple rules, this is just a great game for you! |
