I'm currently working on command line options

--red <red ant ai file> --black <black ant ai file> --world <world map file> [OPTIONS]

Options
--hres -h FLOAT   horizontal resolution
--vres -v FLOAT   vertical resolution

I want to add a flag for simulation --simulate -s that bypasses the graphics alltogether, but does run the step function until the end and keeps track of the score

Make the game state carry score for both parties and add a scoreboard to the world.
Maybe also add a generation counter?

Add the combat system so that the ants can fight

Add controls to control the execution speed of the program. It is nice to see slow animations for debugging, but also fast for playback. Maybe it's also useful to have no animation at all if all you're interested in is the results (bypass the graphics alltogether)

The world is parsed using square coordinates, these may not correctly map to hexagonal coordinates.

integrate graphics for all the objects in the world, that is

• Rocks
• Ants
• Food
• Ants with food? (go nuts!)
• Colors
• Or even decoration if you so choose

Step function that runs one timestep, in one of these steps the position of the ants on the board has to be updated (world update) and the ant records have to be updated (ant update)

The type of the function would be something like

step :: Gamestate -> Gamestate

where Gamestate is a record that has the world map, the programs for both ant colonies and two sets for the ant colonies.
