Talk:Langton's ant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- There is a simple extension to Langton's ant where instead of just two colours, more colours are used. There is also a simple name giving scheme for such ants where the letters 'L' and 'R' are used to indicate whether a left or right turn should be taken. Langton's ant would get the name 'RL' in this name giving scheme.
- Some of these extended Langton's ants produce patterns that become symmetric over and over again. One of the simplest examples is the ant RLLR
I don't understand this naming scheme. The ant RLLR uses four colors? Does it modify the colors in a cyclic fashion? AxelBoldt 22:38 Jan 16, 2003 (UTC)
- Exactly. --FvdP 22:43 Jan 16, 2003 (UTC)
Has anyone looked at what would happen if multiple Langton's ants were to share a plane? -- The Anome 14:26, 15 May 2004 (UTC)
- Sure. I've seen pages on the web on this subject. But since it's not in line with my interests about ants, I remembered no reference. --FvdP 21:56, 17 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] sex-positive feminism?
Has there been a mistake made. emmm, how is sex-positive feminism representative of Langston's ant? Tim, Flagstaff, AZ
