it uses FMOD for audio and runs in a terminal. you can
actually run it from linux console without a desktop. also
on windows. need to get a mac to get some macos builds
eventually. um ya, if you run into issues you can post on
the project page or come to the discord:

I don't feel like installing an emulator, if you release a
mac build I'll test it 🍎

temporary-url.com is a great and cool thing!

how long do you have to start building units before the AI
comes in with tanks and... RAIDs

honestly i havent played long enough that one colony has
eliminated the other.

it takes about 6-7 food to produce a raider ant (i think
there should be some code so that older guards/scouts
eventually become raiders but i'll have to check that its in
there). raiders do a random walk until they find either a
threat trail left by a scout, or a food trail for the enemy,
in which case they are supposed to follow the food trail
back to the enemy nest. you can help them a bit by selecting
one and manually walking them to the part of the map you
want.

in future updates i'll try and tweak things so a better flow
gets established. i haven't really stress tested so im not
sure what kind of unit counts are possible.

thanks for playing =)

guess i should clarify it was intended to be a sandbox or
"virtual terrarium" more than an RTS or sim with a specific
goal of winning. you could probably just dig a colony with a
good layout and then deselect the queen to let things evolve
on autopilot.
