Langton's Ant Description

Langton's Ant project is an example of a finite-state cellular automata. Langton's Ant project is an example of a finite-state cellular automata.The ant (or ants) start out on a grid. Each cell is either black or white. If the ant is on a black square, it turns right 90 and moves forward one unit. If the ant is on a white square, it turns left 90 and moves forward one unit. And when the ant leaves a square, it inverts the color. The neat thing about Langton's Ant is that no matter what pattern field you start it out on, it eventually builds a "road," which is a series of 117 steps that repeat indefinitely, each time leaving the ant displaced one pixel vertically and horizontally.It should compile with g++ -lm -lpng -lz `gtk-config --libs` langton.cRequirements:· libstdc++ Requirements: · libstdc
