Comment on Langton's antparent

Comments

That's really cool. At times it looks like a spider spinning a web. Does it ever reach a state where the behavior becomes constant?

Not really, although you can make stable ants. Doing anything complex and stable, though, is really difficult. After I built that, I spent a couple weeks doing little but trying to create something simple (in terms of commands) and beautiful, that would run indefinitely; I was never really very successful. That said, I may well be the only person that's ever played with 45-degree ants, so there's a good potential for someone else to succeed where I failed.
