Langton's Ant

Implementation of Langton's Ant cellular automata in Python.

Configuration

The software is based on some configuration parameters to be set as environmental variables (or directly in the code):

  • WIDTH: the width of the grid - default is 1280
  • HEIGHT: the height of the grid - default is 720
  • RESOLUTION: the resolution of the grid cells - default is 5
  • RULE: the rule to be applied to the ant - default is RL

The RULE parameter is a string of N parameters describing the behaviour of the ant. The first two colors are black and white respectively, and the following N-2 colors are randomly generated.

How to run

Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

run the script:

python ant.py
