This simulates how ants work as a hive to find food. Ants place pheromones to tell other ants
where they found food or where their base is. Blue dots represent "to colony" pheromones and
green ones represent "to food" pheromones. When ants deplete a food source they will lay a
repellent and degrade any pheromone trails leading to that depleted food source to deter other
ants from venturing there.
