This is one of those cellular autonoma things where little cells grow and flourish. This uses the formula of "langton's ant"
It's pretty easy to add more colors, just add another player and edit the triggers so one goes to one goes to one etc..
I've tested it up to 4001000 2000 moves. So far it is spot-on accurate, but I have a feeling it will screw up eventually. Faster speeds of the pegasus work, but will screw up early with a "diagonal" move.
If you want to grow your colony to maximum size, you will have to move your ant over before doing so! Otherwise your ant will hit the map edge.
This uses the white player color -- you might have to change it if you don't have superpack. Also, the brown color is considered a "white" tile. I made it another color for clarity.
Enjoy.

You expect to get laid through playing an AoM scenario?

He's been lusting after my Sexy Assistant. I've had to fight him off a dozen times.
Could somebody please help me understand this? I can't for the love of humanity conceive what on earth the point in this scenario is. I've drooled over 200 moves now and nothing exciting has yet to occur. is this really just suitable for a main menu background?
After around 10,000 the ant drives a highway diagonally from the mess.

The white colour will appear for everyone with or without my superpack.
The only time it might not would have been if someone has added their own custom colours and used up slot 13 which I used for white.

Unfortunatly, the map size is too small He stops right before building the highway
was this inspired by minecraft?
No. I just thought it would be cool.

There really is no point to this, and yet there is. One idea behind all those cellular autonoma games of the past says that it proves that unique patterns and machines can be generated from seemingly random shit.
Maybe I should make a version of this for a screensaver but with pixels being squares.
