THE SFOURMI PROJECT

Genesis and goal of the project SFourmi:

Super Fourmi project aims to reconstitute one or several ants' nest's growing. Since february,17.2000, a lot of great extensions came to fill the realism of the simulation ; of course, our work is based on biological research on ants and especially on observations we made in the nature. If you want to know more about our ant's experience, follow the link 'Photos' where you can see our own pictures.

For now, although the program SFourmi runs perfectly, it's far from perfect. It has some lacks regarding realism, because til now, the programming focused upon hierarchy and structures. As I was in 'prépa', my free time was very limited and if there wasn't friends to help me, I'd have never programmed so far !

Today, Superfourmi team is proud to show you his ideas and his work.
