Final_Ant_Model

####Ant Pheromones Model This model showcases the behavior of army ants when faced with their predators. The rules for this model is as follows: * Ant hives create a leader ant every ten time steps and follower ants every time step. * Ants are repelled from the hive * Every time step, leaders go up one cell, then either right or left for a period of time, then up again until they hit the edge. * Follower ants follow trail led by leader * Predators slowly randomly move around world. * If a predator is next to an ant, it will erase it. * When an ant dies, it releases a death pheromone and all ants in the world will now follow that the location of that pheromone * If a predator is surrounded by twenty or more ants, it will get consumed by the ant mob. * If a predator dies, the ants will follow a command to return to the hive, and then create a new hive next to the old hive. * Ants have a death timer and if they don’t kill a predator in a certain amount of time, they will die. * If you click on the counter, it will generate a world filled with random placements of predators and obstacles.
