SimAnt-lite 2003-11-23 - By Barry Swan
Back
Looked very sweet, but soon slowed down with all the trails.
Either lower the resolution of the balls you use (and possibly lose the
bottom half ones), or...
When you go to dump a ball, check if any are near - if they are, combine
them and simply lower the transparency of this new combined ball.
Since after a while the ants do nothing but follow the same route, it
means you'd not get any new balls added slowing it down.
Also, unlike now, using this method you could maximise how opaque the
balls go - after a while in your version I couldn't actually see the
ants because they were travelling along a solid line of balls :)
