' langton' ant is cellular automata simulation on two-dimensional gridsimilar to project "conway' game of life in the simulationan "antbegins on square that is one of two colors if the space is the first colorthe ant switches it to the second colorturns degrees to the rightand moves forward one space if the space is the second colorthe ant switches it to the first colorturns degrees to the leftand moves forward one space despite the very simple set of rulesthe simulation displays complex emergent behavior simulations can feature multiple ants in the same spacecausing interesting interactions when they cross paths with each other langton' ant was invented by computer scientist chris langton in more information about langton' ant can be found at langton% s_ant
