Skeleton Code '26-Ant Simulation
This resource supports the teaching and understanding of an ant colony simulation using skeleton code, providing a structured approach to exploring both programming and underlying concepts. The skeleton code offers a clear starting point, allowing focus on key elements such as movement, behaviour, and interactions within the simulation.
The resource includes lesson slides for each class, which explain how the simulation works in a clear, step-by-step way. Key ideas such as pheromone trails, movement rules, and relationships like distance (d) and how it influences behaviour are broken down using visuals and explanations. This supports a deeper understanding of the model while enabling the development, testing, and refinement of solutions.
