Ants Collective Sort
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Collective Sort is a demo which shows how collective intelligence works, by simulating an ant farm where ants sort their eggs.
Simple local rules resulting in an emergent organized structure : eggs are sorted by type.
In the environment, you have ants 🐜, red squares 🟥, and blue squares 🟦.
Each Ant 🐜 is doing the following :
- If it doesn’t carry a square 🟥, and it comes across a square 🟥, the less it crossed the same type of square, the most probable it picks-it up.
- If it carries a square 🟦, and it comes across a square 🟦, the more it crossed the same type of square, the most probable it drops it.
2 simple rules.
Collective intelligence is always surprising and it keeps me amazed.
