 » Langton's Ant 2.0
download web site opinions problem?
  Langton's Ant - it's just eye-candy ;-) This program is based on an amazingly simple algorithm - An "ant" is walking across a two-dimensional array of bits, if the bit the ant steps on is 0 (color 2) the ant turns left, if the bit is 1 (color 1) the ant turns right, the bit the ant has just left will be inverted. These simple rules lead to different intermediate patterns but, after three or four million steps, it all ends up in chaos! A minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 is recommended.

download web site opinions problem?
  This program was invented on a typical morning working on a typical computer with a typical Windoze application, a typical mouse click on a typical button and a typical reaction - BSOD! No need to mention that the last save-file operation took place half an hour ago !! AARRGGHH!!! At this moment, the BANG was conceived. After installation, BANG places a small death's head icon somewhere on the desktop. Double-click on the BANG icon to change the mouse cursor into a crosshair and fire at every location on the screen. Not that any lost file was ever recovered by this program, but hardware worth millions of dollars was saved by allowing frustrated users to let off steam instead of throwing it out of the window.
