Welcome to the Termites Challenge! This StarLogo Nova model has everything you need to start building a termite mound:
- a terrain covered with wood chips
- a bunch of termites
- a set of rules and commands the termites can follow
This model instructs the termites to pick up a chip, turn randomly, walk forward until standing on a chip, turn randomly, move forward 1, then drop the chip. After dropping the chip, the termites are instructed to turn randomly again and move forward 10. The hope is that this last large movement will move them away from their pile so they do not undo the work they just did.
