Wow, this semester has zoomed by. We’ve been working really hard on the ant game, and I haven’t been taking enough time to update folks on exactly what I’ve been doing.

I won’t say too much right now, since the Winter (work-in-progress) Show is coming up on December 3, but here’s a quick update:

• We’ve changed the name of the project to Leafcutters.
• As the player, you give suggestions to ants which influence how they act in various situations. You can teach a whole colony how to operate with relative ease.
• The game is as true as possible to current myrmecological knowledge.

Alright, that’s all for now. I hope to see you all on the 3rd!
