Hi everyone

I just completed an experiment which turned out to be much cooler than I expected, so I am sharing it! Basically, a thousand “ants” are wandering around a perlin noise landscape. If they move from lighter to darker pixels they turn counter-clockwise. If they move from darker to lighter pixels, they turn clockwise.

[You can see them here](http://www.eccesignum.org/experiment/perlin-ants). Source will be posted later today.
