Instructions:

  • Set the number of termites and woodchips
  • Click on Start to run the simulation

The recommended settings are for not more than 100 termites and 1000 woodchips to avoid excessive slowdown.

The termites are the circles and woodchips are the red dots. Termites carrying a chip are green, those not carrying one are black.

It will take a really large number of iterations to see large piles building up, but you should be able to see the piling behavior almost from the start
