    I created a small 2D game about an antSep 2025 · aanthonymax.github.io · ▲89

    Hello everyone! I created a short game in just a few days, just for fun, where you play as an ant and feed it apples This game also features random landscape generation, with clouds and trees arranged in a chaotic pattern across all coordinates.

The goal is for these pieces to work as one coherent platform while remaining compatible with the wider JavaScript ecosystem.

    Ants Sandbox - an ants simulator2022 · ants-sandbox.io · ▲367

    I was inspired to make a web based ants simulator after watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81GQNPJip2Y Any feedback appreciated. Best viewed on Chromium based browsers. Firefox is slow for some reason and Safari is not tested as I don't have a Mac.
