Free ant colony software for mac

Ant Dropper is a small GUI for Apache Ant (xml based build system from Apache Foundation).

Simple drag n drop for execute Ant script without any Ant installations or configurations.

FireAnt delivers a rich media experience through a simple to use, unified viewer that lets you watch all types of content without having to worry about which format it is (Quicktime, Windows Media, Real, Flash, MP3, and more).

FireAnt connects your favorite media to a wide variety of portable video players (Sony PSP, Apple iPod, Creative Zen Vision and more!) which gives you the power and flexibility to get media content right onto your portable devices! FireAnt also supports HTTP, Streaming, and BitTorrent downloads, bringing you an easy and efficient way of getting what you want when you want it.

With FireANT, you can subscribe to any RSS 2.0 feed with enclosures.
FireANT will automatically download fresh audio and video content for you to watch and listen to. It can playback any media format, and syncs audio files with iTunes so you can easily add them to your portable MP3 player.

FireANT is a stage that allows anyone to share their original video creations -- from personal video journals made by an emerging community of videobloggers, to the growing ranks of distributed citizen journalists, to home video simply intended for friends and family.

Code your way to world domination! The LuxAgent SDK comes with everything you need to write your own AI for Lux.
It includes API documentation as well as the full source code for all the agents that ship with Lux.
Note: The programming language used is Java.
Enhancements:
- Added the CountryRoute, CountryCluster, and CountryClusterSet classes to provide some more object oriented wrappers around groups of Country objects.
- Improved the ability of AIs to send and receive chat and emotes.
- The SDK now comes with an apache ant build setup.
- Added the Killbot, BetterPixie, and Vulture AI examples.

Xcode features dead-code stripping, remote debugging, speed improvements to the gnu C++ compiler, or gcc, code completion for Java and AppleScript, native build system support for AppleScript, an enhanced debugger with memory and globals browsers and the ability to display file static variables, faster editor performance, ant templates, documentation bookmarks and speed improvements.

Update provides overall stability and performance enhancements to the Xcode IDE.

XConf is a XML and properties file processing tool - command line and ant task available.
XConf uses a simple and compact method of specifying elements that need to be processed, and what to do to them. Toolbox: Spring, Hibernate, iBatis, Velocity and other goodies.

Enhancements
- ChildNode parsing is now namespace agnostic, just like the rest of the Node classes.
- XPathAssert now ignores DTDs just like XConf itself.

StarLogo is a programmable modeling environment for exploring the workings of decentralized systems -- systems that are organized without an organizer, coordinated without a coordinator. With StarLogo, you can model (and gain insights into) many real-life phenomena, such as bird flocks, traffic jams, ant colonies, and market economies.
In decentralized systems, orderly patterns can arise without centralized control. Increasingly, researchers are choosing decentralized models for the organizations and technologies that they construct in the world, and for the theories that they construct about the world.
But many people continue to resist these ideas, assuming centralized control where none exists -- for example, assuming (incorrectly) that bird flocks have leaders. StarLogo is designed to help students (as well as researchers) develop new ways of thinking about and understanding decentralized systems.
StarLogo is a specialized version of the Logo programming language. With traditional versions of Logo, you can create drawings and animations by giving commands to graphic "turtles" on the computer screen. StarLogo extends this idea by allowing you to control thousands of graphic turtles in parallel.
In addition, StarLogo makes the turtles world computationally active: you can write programs for thousands of "patches" that make up the turtles environment.
Turtles and patches can interact with one another -- for example, you can program the turtles to "sniff" around the world, and change their behaviors based on what they sense in the patches below. StarLogo is particularly well-suited for Artificial Life projects.
Enhancements:
- Rewrote tail recursion detection to actually work.
- Fixed numerous hanging bugs that plagued the MacOSX version of StarLogo.
- Fixed display of error dialog boxes when running StarLogo as an applet.
- StarLogo is properly ported to running on Intel-based Macintosh computers when they come out.
- Eliminated ugly redraws of widgets on the Macintosh version of StarLogo. Text widgets look much better now.
- Fixed a bug in scatter plots where the generated StarLogo code was wrong.
- Found and fixed a bug that sometimes let the turtles escape their StarLogo world and scribble on the widgets nearby.
- Resize the patch canvas back to default values when you do New Project.
- Fixed numerous bugs in documentation.

Two years ago I worked on an interesting research project with a friend. In this project we examined a certain cellular automaton named Langton’s Ants. Cellular automata are infinite grid spaces in which each space possesses a certain state.

Spaces in Langton’s Ants have one of two states, on or off. In this cellular automata, an “ant” traverses the infinite grid space. Each time the ant enters a square it follows a certain set of rules:
1. If the square is ‘on’ the ant rotates 90 degrees clockwise and then moves forward one square.
2. If the square is ‘off’ the ant rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise and the moves forward one square.
3. When the ant leaves a square it switches the status.

Although these rules seem simple, the patterns produced are intriguing. Because of this, I decided to adapt some of the code written for the research project into a screen saver for Mac OS X.

The screen saver randomly generates anywhere from 1 to 5 ants on a grid and then performs the simple rules for each ant. The following image is a pattern created by a single “ant.”
