More感谢反馈！新版已上线最强大脑挑战模式，支持正向推演与反向推演，可以设置不同难度，欢迎更新体验。
Thanks for the feedback! The new version lets you edit cell states, ant position and direction, then watch it run. Please update and give it a try.
Langton's Ant is a cellular automaton simulation where an ant moves on a grid, changing cell colors and turning based on simple rules. These rules lead to complex emergent patterns over time.
Langton's Ant exhibits three modes: Simplicity, where simple symmetric patterns emerge; Chaos, with pseudo-random paths for around 10,000 steps; and Emergent Order, where a repeating 'highway' pattern forms.
Langton's Ant is a paid application, priced at $0.99.
Langton's Ant is available on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod.
Langton's Ant has an age rating of 4+, making it suitable for younger players and adults alike.
The latest version, 0.1.3, was released on August 21, 2021. Updates are not very frequent.
No, Langton's Ant does not contain advertisements.
