When the population of ants increases too much, some groups leave the main center and nest elsewhere. Over time, these ants differentiate and even become enemies with the original colony. It would be nice if you add this situation to your software.

Heyy! This is starting to look less like an experiment (a fun one, nonetheless), and gradually much more like something that could easily be turned into a game. As a child, I once tried to do something even mildly akin to SimAnt. It was one of my first ventures into the world of C and C++. Of course, I but miserably failed, as I had bit more than I could chew, and abandoned the project, left to bitrot on GitHub. Nowadays, I might just be able to, and this video is exciting inspiration to do so! I'm working on a PR to add IPv6 support to Chocolate Doom, but once I'm done with that I'm excited to try a new thing like this. Thank you Pezza! :D

This is really cool! I have an idea for another new pheromone: "food too far" It gets released when an ant has found food but takes too long to come home, so it eats the food, restoring (some?) lifetime. It could be used to determine where an new colony should be started, if that's something you also would wanna implement. Alternatively the ant could just die and drop the food to be found by another ant.

Maybe add an incentive for ants to explore areas in the fog of war. Also you can mark explored areas with no food as non-interesting, that way ants won't waste time going to places they already been to. And lastly, maybe add other types of ants for specializations (like explorer, gatherer etc...). Really cool and fun to watch simulation!

There should be special areas which regularly spawns some food, because the logical conclusion of what happens to the colony in these simulations after food runs out is that they all die, so a food source should have a special color of itself so ants know to occasionally check it (say every few trips or so)
