Description

Langton's Ant is actually a two-dimensional cell automaton that evolves by following very simple rules.
It was invented by scientist Christopher Langton in 1986 and helped to highlight an example of emergent behavior.

The two basic rules are:
¤ If the ant is on a black square, it turns right, changes the color to white and moves forward
¤ If the ant is on a white square, it turns left, changes the color to black and moves forward


These simple rules lead to a surprising behavior of the ant:
The ant builds a road that repeat indefinitely


Here are the main features of my implementation:

¤ Changing the speed
¤ Changing the size of the world
¤ Changing the background color
¤ Changin the rules:
- 35 predefined rules
- create your own rules
¤ Creation of multiple states automatons
¤ Add as many ant as you want, simply by touching the screen!

There are many extensions (several colors, states, etc.) but it's up to you to discover them.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★Great app, but it hasn't been updated since 2014 and it crashes when trying to edit expert rules, and there is no way to change a tiles state around the ant :(
5 ★Expert mode doesn't work and sometimes it crashes, but other than that it's pretty much perfect. I've never seen a langtons ant program more advanced and customizable than this.
4 ★Crashes on choosing some expert options, otherwise fun :)
3 ★Very interesting app, but expert mode crashes the game. Please solve it.
5 ★I saw a cool video on it... it met the video's standards and surpassed my expectations. also usually ends up looking no like pixelated clown vomit. clown/10
3 ★great app, however the expert function does not work on my phone. (-1♢) for the crashes
1 ★Loopover of error message.
4 ★great app! I would prefer of the time slider(which currently returns exponential values) had a logarithmic scale instead of a linear scale.
5 ★Please fix the Expert Section, i cant edit it. The game crashes, plz fix. Thank you.
2 ★Give an input box for maximum and minimum values for the slider on both sides of it. This way the speed for both slow and fast terminating ants can be controlled easily.
