At that point there are so many ants you can't really tell what is going on.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":627264,"author_name":"recursor","author_uid":"recursor","epoch":1619450330,"text":"It is a neat thing to watch the ants go about their business. I would like to be able to pause the simulation, click on an ant and see what it is thinking\/doing, etc. It is a really impressive accomplishment to do a sim like this in just 48 hours.

It would have been nice for some way to interact with the simulation, either by placing food or digging tunnels.  I really enjoy seeing simulations like this.\n\nBonus points for the name. :smile: ","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":675729,"author_name":"coatline","author_uid":"coatline","epoch":1619731790,"text":"Thanks for the feedback!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ldjam-media\/sha256\/5f\/5f0550915c03fe8e508273125de7e5d01698469751651b93c9f872cc535dc966.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/coatline.itch.io\/anticlimactic","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"67371","g_author":"1078924","g_event":"LD48","g_eventkey":"109","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"291118","g_title":"Anticlimactic","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"8","g_site2_node_id":"239388","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"239388","n_urlkey":"291118","n_parent":"233335","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/48\/anticlimactic","n_slug":"anticlimactic","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"78924","n_created":"0","n_modified":"0","n_version":"913634","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"id":239388,"parent":233335,"superparent":9,"author":78924,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2021-04-26T00:54:16Z","created":"2021-04-18T20:03:45Z","modified":"2022-05-15T16:58:26Z","version":913634,"slug":"anticlimactic","name":"Anticlimactic","body":"**Ant simulation - Made in 48 hours for LD48!**\n\n**Controls:**\n\nMove camera: WASD or Arrow Keys\n\nSpeed of simulation: 1,2,3\n\nReset Simulation: R\n\n\n\n**Structures:**\n\nEgg Pens - where ants store eggs and go to attempt (40% chance) to successfully hatch them\n\nFood Pens - where ants store food and go to eat\n\nThe Queen - lays eggs but needs to be fed by worker ants\n\nAnt Mound - where ants go to find food\n\nBed - where ants go to rest\n\n\n\n**Ant Behavior:**\n\nFood - Ants starve and will go eat when they get hungry (slow when too hungry)\n\nEggs - Deliver eggs from The Queen to the Egg Pen so that they can be hatched\n\nSleep - Ants grow tired and will slow when they are exhausted\n\nDeath - too tired or hungry\n\n\n\nThe success of your colony highly depends on the layout.\n\n\n\n![AnticlimacticStartGameScreen.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/c44\/31\/z\/3cab4.png)\n![Anitclimactic gameplay.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/c44\/31\/z\/3caa0.png)","meta":{"author":[78924],"grade-06-out":"1","allow-anonymous-comments":"1","cover":"\/\/\/content\/c44\/31\/z\/3ca25.png","link-01-tag":[42332],"link-02":"https:\/\/coatline.itch.io\/anticlimactic","link-02-tag":[42336],"link-01-name":""},"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/48\/anticlimactic","parents":[1,5,9,233335],"love":0,"comments":8,"comments-timestamp":"2021-04-29T21:29:50Z","grade":{"grade-01":8,"grade-02":8,"grade-03":8,"grade-04":8,"grade-05":8,"grade-07":7,"grade-08":8},"magic":{"cool":96.755889369379,"feedback":5,"given":5.5,"grade":7.8571428571429,"grade-01-average":3.083,"grade-02-average":2,"grade-03-average":3.417,"grade-04-average":2.917,"grade-05-average":2.917,"grade-07-average":1.6,"grade-08-average":2.083,"smart":0.90499582190259},"_wayback":{"timestamp":"20220719094006","url":"https:\/\/api.ldjam.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/277754+262861+239388+184611+161906+140597+124752+99606+78925","source":"global-node-catalog"}},"text":"**Ant simulation - Made in 48 hours for LD48!**\n\n**Controls:**\n\nMove camera: WASD or Arrow Keys\n\nSpeed of simulation: 1,2,3\n\nReset Simulation: R\n\n\n\n**Structures:**\n\nEgg Pens - where ants store eggs and go to attempt (40% chance) to successfully hatch them\n\nFood Pens - where ants store food and go to eat\n\nThe Queen - lays eggs but needs to be fed by worker ants\n\nAnt Mound - where ants go to find food\n\nBed - where ants go to rest\n\n\n\n**Ant Behavior:**\n\nFood - Ants starve and will go eat when they get hungry (slow when too hungry)\n\nEggs - Deliver eggs from The Queen to the Egg Pen so that they can be hatched\n\nSleep - Ants grow tired and will slow when they are exhausted\n\nDeath - too tired or hungry\n\n\n\nThe success of your colony highly depends on the layout.\n\n\n\n![AnticlimacticStartGameScreen.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/c44\/31\/z\/3cab4.png)\n![Anitclimactic gameplay.PNG](\/\/\/raw\/c44\/31\/z\/3caa0.png)","title":"Anticlimactic","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"timestamp":"20220719094006","url":"https:\/\/api.ldjam.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/277754+262861+239388+184611+161906+140597+124752+99606+78925","source":"global-node-catalog"}}
