This is very fast Langton's ant simulator which draws cells as pixels. It just needs 9 frames/cell. If you let it run half an hour or so, you will see the typical "ant street" to the upper right corner of the box.

    Please don't vote down if it just does not work, first test the slower version or use Jacob1's mod.

    if you have an infinite grid of cells and you place the "ant" in one grid, it does the following: it checks color of the cell, if it is white, it turns left and makes the cell black. If the cell is black, it turns right and makes the cell white. Then it goes into the nextr cell which the ant faces. Then it start again.

    Ok, it works on my pc. Sorry for everyone where it doesn't work. I compiled my TPT myself from source, maybe the is is the reason why it works. I will insert a link to a previous slower save, which should work.
