Ant Game

One of our teammates was able to modify some processing code to create a metaphorical ant network. It moves player controlled ants around to collect food but have the ants almost completely in the dark as to where they can go. They have to branch out and collect food and bring it back to the base. They leave behind pheromones on the track so to guide the ants to where the food is. This then creates a unity between the ants as they work together to collect food by strengthening the paths to where the food lies as they keep going back and forth.

This ant program was a way of displaying a type of unity between creatures and how it is used for their survival.

This was handed in as part of our studio project. You can find out more about this at Jenna's blog here  

Now that our hand in is over I will be able to focus on testing with the video glasses (mentioned in a later post) in the holidays. Hopefully what I will come to use these things with will help inspire and take our project further. I think that as long as our group keeps moving as seen in the last few days then we can be collaborative and productive in our studio work.
