# Ant Colony Simulation

This is an ant colony simulation, it internally uses kdtree and query caching, it's able to handle about 5k ants on the cpu.

Built with [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) and [Bevy](https://bevyengine.org/) game engine

## Usage

- Clone the repo

```bash

git clone [email protected]:bones-ai/rust-ants-colony-simulation.git

cd rust-ants-colony-simulation

```

- Run the simulation

```bash

cargo run --release

```

## Configurations

- The project config file is located at `src/configs.rs`

- If all ants aren't forming a single trail even after a long time, try increasing `ANT_INITIAL_PH_STRENGTH` in the configs to a greater value (exmaple: `40.0`)
