DESCRIPTION:  A simple ant model. In this model, a population of ants lives in a rectangular grid world consisting of an array of empty and non-empty (food) cells. The ants move randomly and release pheromone while moving. Released pheromone decays by and by. Ants remember the last twenty cells visited. The movement is biassed by pheromone values of the cells in reach, a direction-preserving tendency, the memory and a random effect. The non-empty food cells stimulate pheromone deposition of ants. Altogether, this results in ‘pheromone trails’ being formed which link food sources with each other
