@aldoaldoz YEAH! This is it. It's not the RRLRLRLLRL ant, but the RLRLRLLRLR. At least in my formalism (taken from wikipedia unless I did it wrong). That's veeeery cool, thank you.

I implemented it here, but fail to reproduce some of your patterns. For example RRLRLRLLRL that you show at 3:42 does not build any highway here. Are you sure that there is no typo or something? I'm puzzled because it works for most other ants

@mquinson : may be it isn't clear which colour is the first one in the sequence. Actually, the initial colour of the squares is white; and the first change is FROM white to RED: so try shifting the sequence one step.

What programming language have you been using? (And if that's the case, which GUI toolkit?)

@krawattenfan: the program is an evolution of an old old one, written in early 90s in basic. I modified it to write a bitmap to disk for each frame, a then converted the bitmaps to AVI clips.

Ho scritto un programma apposta, che crea un bitmap su disco per ogni fotogramma. Poi ho montato il tutto con strumenti standard.
