Ants - Programmable game WIP

This is my game 'ants'

It's for an AI project at uni.

I'm not only making an ant sim, but also a programmable game. The game framework is written in C++ using SFML, but all the ant logic is written in Lua. I have tried to make the API as open ended as possible, without restricting too much (except for ridiculous stuff, eg you can't set your position ;) you can only move from your current position a certain amount). The entire game initialisation and settings are loaded from file aswell, so the user can completely change the match properties.

Anyway, what you see in the video is 2 test ants. The red ant is an Aggro ant that only cares about attacking other ants, and will hunt down ants from opposing teams and beat them to death with it's bare legs. The black ant is a food collecting ant, it's only concern is collecting food and bringing it back to it's anthole.

Hope you like it ;)
