Hello,

i just saw you're video on youtube and wanted to make my son play with you're animation.

Do you think it is hard if i ask you to make a more detailed instructions file ?

Or maybe a guide on how to put it online so i can share to others you're work.

Thank you.

Hi,
If you are on Windows, you can try this link https://github.com/johnBuffer/AntSimulator/releases/download/v1.2/AntsSimulator.zip
I just added it under the video.

What about Linux(Arch), I really wanna try THESE

Answer 3 · 2021-04-02T12:36:19.000Z

For arch you will need to install SFML with pacman (https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/sfml/) and build the project with cmake. Are you familiar with this process ?

Will look into this, g++ and msvc don't behave the same regarding this.

Should be better now
