Code	/ANTS SIMULATOR by Maxime Fournes v0.4 : NEW UPDATE IS OUT ! Check the changelog ! Use the arrows to move around and the slider to zoom in/out. Click anywhere to create food. Press P to pause the simulation. Try to put food far away from the nest and observe what happens. Carefull : don't forget to feed your ants or they will starve to death ! Try and play around with the following variables : / var nAnts = 10; //NUMBER OF ANTS AT START var ageing=true; //Will ants die of ageing? true=yes,false=no var LifeExpectancy = 10000; //Life expectancy, 1000=1min var HungerThreshold = 1000; //Time before hunpger, 1000=1min var InitialFoodNest = 10; //Initial amount of food in the nest var debugMode=false; //Toggle debug mode. Handle with care ;) //NEW : Press D to enter debug mode /* Enjoy, and please vote up if you like it ! Votes will motivate me to go on with developping this program ;) Also please report bugs and feel free to suggest features you'd like me to add in the Tips and Feedback section. NEXT UPDATE : Predators ! Planned updates : -Memory of paths and stuff -Pheromones -> DONE -Predators and Preys -Competition with an other nest -Ants birth and death depending on food levels in the nest -More complex and realistic behaviour -Add obstacles Version history : v0.4 Baby ants are in !! This was a big update in terms of coding so I thought it deserved a new version number. Here are all the changes that occured: -Ants now get bigger as they grow up. They are born as tiny babies and take approximately 30 seconds before getting to their final size; -Hail to the Queen ! The Queen is a new entity that will give birth to new ants if it is provided with enough food. When healthy its birthrate will increase. When starving its birthrate will decrease. Be carefull, if the queen dies your nest is doomed ! -Queen status is displayed in the top-right of the screen -The code have been cleaned up a bit and commented v0.35 Ants now have a memory ! An ant that has found food will now remember its position ! In addition to being a more natural behaviour it will allow me to decrease greatly the number of pheromones released hence improve the program's performance ! A pause mode has also been added, that you can access by pressing "P". v0.34 Finalised the hunger system. Feed your ants if you want them to live ! When hungry, ants will come back to nest to feed, if no food is in the nest they will start starving. Starving ants become less productive as they do more and more goings and comings to the nest in the hope to get food. Ants will get hungry after 1min without food, they will starve after 3min and die after 5min ! v0.335 Added hunger management for ants. This feature is still bugged. A new version is coming soon to fix it. v0.33 Ants are not immortal any more ! Ants will die because of ageing. When an ant is dead it will slowly decompose before being definitely removed from the board. Ageing can be toggled on/off via the variable "ageing". v0.32 Added a debug mode accessible by setting the variable debugMode to "true". Changed maximum unzoom to 5 and default unzoom to 2. v0.31 Added a new behavioural mode : exploration. Some ants will explore the surroundings while most of them guard the nest. v0.3 Added Pheromones ! When carrying food, ants now emit pheromones on their way back to nest. Inactive ants will follow peromones all the way to the food. v0.21 Food now disappears when eaten. v0.2 : Added food : When finding food the ants will gather as much as they can carry and take it back to the nest. v0.1 : The ants follow by default a realistic random walk. Added a nest and a zoom function. / frameRate(30); //Global variables var r1=2, r2=1; var limX = 1000, limY = 1000; var currentScale = 2; var maxScale = 5; var translateX=200, translateY=200; var sliderPress=false;
