| Introduction | I am a mathmo (mathematician for anyone not familiar with Cambridge slang) studying at the University of Cambridge, and this is the blog of my summer project on Langton's Ant. This project was dreamt up one evening in the college bar when I was showing some of the compscis (computer scientists) my old visual basic excel macros and stumbled across a very basic Langton's Ant. What I showed them was just one boring black ant. By the time I left the bar that morning I had progressed to two coloured ants colliding with each other, the demo macro that most of this project is built from. Through this project I hope to expand my knowledge of visual basic, encourage others to mess around with maths on their computers, and to make a lot of pretty pictures. I will aim to keep my language fairly non-technical, but feel free to comment if you have a question or even a suggestion on how to improve my code. Here it goes... |
