A simple 2D ant colony simulator written in C++ with SFML, showing emergent foraging behavior with pheromone trails. It supports interactive features like adding food, drawing walls, pausing, and zooming.
Use cases
- simulate ant colony foraging behavior
- watch emergent pheromone trail behavior in real time
- experiment with agent-based simulation in C++
- learn how to build a simulation with SFML
- draw walls and food to interact with a live simulation
- demonstrate swarm intelligence for teaching
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, interactive 2D agent-based simulation
- you want a small readable C++/SFML codebase to learn from
- you want to demo emergent behavior like pheromone trails
When to avoid
- you need scientifically accurate ant biology models
- you need 3D simulation or GPU-scale agent counts
- you need a library or API to embed in your own project rather than a standalone app
