Arrow keys = move ant
(A) + move = move and pick up, drop off
(B) + move = scroll screen
Game will auto-save your progress.... when you come back to the game, you can pick up where you left off...
You must manually clear PERSIST memory to start a new game
... currently all you can do is move dirt...

It’d actually be pretty cool to get a bunch of AI ants in the simulation. You could simulate an entire colony that way. Really cool! :)

Thats kinda my thought too... but first i want to kinda flesh out more ideas... like gathering food, which would require plant life
The overall size of the playing field is obviously very small, so that would probably be the limit of what i could add..
... then i would like to add programmable ants, using something like my popup boxes... you could select an ant and tell it what job to do
... if i can flesh out these ideas here, then that would help me with other games, as hinted by in the popup boxes demo ;)

... if at any time you would like to try an AI version, you are very welcome to use anything here... :)

Cool... so technically you wrote a movement script for it ;)

So, you can tap on the buttons to reprogram it.
