Ant Swarms by kodingmusik

made by kodingmusik for LD23 (COMPO)

Green ants versus red ants. You have to control the ants by placing pheromone which will attract them. There is a very simple AI for the red ants. The game is not really fun, but I'm glad to be a part of LD48!

I attempted to get your game to work, however I could not. Your .jar file doesn't have the required LWJGL Library required to run it.

I hate you so much :p
I had the same game idea, but yours truly is a game while mine is just a screensaver.

Great work!!

I was unable to get this to run on OSX :(

So sorry! The paths for Windows and OSX were missing a '/'. I've updated the JAR (that was the only change). Now it should work! azmaeve: Thank you!!!

It's really a pretty fun idea. I didn't do all that well but I had a good time trying to get the little guys pointed in the right direction.

Interesting idea, but the controls seemed to hinder more than they were fun. Also I was never able to come up with a strategy that didn't result in me getting overrun by red ants.
