Ant Wars

Ant Wars is a strategy and programming game where each participant is a species of ant. The participant then, in a language called Antomata, program a finite state machine to function as the brain of each ant. The ant brain then control the ant to find and collect food to bring to the home ant hill, to fend off attackers or making trails of pheromones.

Participants program an ant and then upload the genome of that species to the server where the species goes head to head with other participants species.

Supplied example snipplets of code makes it easy to get started.

History
The game was developed from a challenge in the 7th year ICFP Programming Contest held in 2004.
