AntWorld

Watch thousands of ants dig, forage and go to war, live

Thousands of ants, zero scripting. Each ant only knows three things — sense pheromones, drop a trail, carry food home — and when thousands do that at once, foraging highways form, tunnels get carved, and the colony reshapes itself around the queen, live. You do not control the ants; you shape the world they live in.

Real simulation, not animation

Each ant has 3 pheromone sensors, energy, and its own steering logic, with worker, queen, and raider castes. Every trail, tunnel, and war is emergent — grown from simple rules.

Shape their world

Dig tunnels and carve chambers through procedurally generated terrain, drop food and place rocks to redirect the colony's growth, and trigger food blooms, collapses, predator raids, and seasons.

Colonies at war

Up to 4 colonies can compete, raid, and fight for territory. Speed up to see colony-scale patterns, or slow down to follow a single ant.

A relaxing sandbox

No win condition and no timer. Sandbox mode is built to leave running and check on — like a lava lamp that also happens to be a colony simulator — and no two worlds generate the same.
