Langton-s-Ant-JS

Fast implementation of 2D (90º, 45º and 60º), 3D and 4D Langton's Ant and 2D, 3D and 4D Turmites written in JS

Ant movement notation

• 2D: R L (±90º)
• hex: F R r B l L (0º, 60º, 120º,...)
• 45deg: F f R r B b L l (0º, 45º, 90º,...)
• 3D: R L U D (±90º xy and xz planes)
• 4D: R L U D X Y (±90º xy, xz and xw planes)

Turmites allow turning in any of the 6, 24 and 192 orientations (2d, 3d and 4d respectively).

TODO

• hex and 45º turmites
• merge common code
• chunk based map
• backwards simulation to find period (for ants, turmites are not reversible in general)
• save GIFs/videos
• store 3d and 4d rotation tables in files
• higher dimensional ants (rotation table for 5d would be 1920x1920)
