Ludum Dare #48compo
Anticlimactic
Ant simulation - Made in 48 hours for LD48!
Controls:
Move camera: WASD or Arrow Keys
Speed of simulation: 1,2,3
Reset Simulation: R
Structures:
Egg Pens - where ants store eggs and go to attempt (40% chance) to successfully hatch them
Food Pens - where ants store food and go to eat
The Queen - lays eggs but needs to be fed by worker ants
Ant Mound - where ants go to find food
Bed - where ants go to rest
Ant Behavior:
Food - Ants starve and will go eat when they get hungry (slow when too hungry)
Eggs - Deliver eggs from The Queen to the Egg Pen so that they can be hatched
Sleep - Ants grow tired and will slow when they are exhausted
Death - too tired or hungry
The success of your colony highly depends on the layout.

Would be great to be able to see what is what by hovering the mouse over an object on the map.
Otherwise very original interpretation of the theme.
I tried waiting until the colony filled up to see if the ants would expand the colony or something, but the game ground to a halt at around 700 ants until a bunch of them died off. At that point there are so many ants you can't really tell what is going on.
Bonus points for the name. 😄
