Our team used Scheme to code  both our simulator and our compiler
for ants.  We used the Chicken Scheme implementation.  There are
more details in our page:

Our  simulator  generates images  in  the  PNM format,  which  we
convert to GIF  files using Imagemagick.  You can  see an example
animation in our team's page.

Our simulator took around 30 secs  to run a 100.000 rounds match.
We didn't spend any time optimizing it.

Alejo.
