[Icfp04-discuss] Ant Wars spinoff

[Scott G. Miller]

Congratulations to this year's winners!

For those of you who would like to visualize the ants in this year's 
competition, the Formicidae simulator from Ant Wars can be used to get a 
nice fast graphical view of the action.  It contains a converter between
the state machine language of the ICFP contest and Formicidae bytecode.  
To use it:

1. Grab a copy of Formicidae from <http://ant-wars.com/software.php>
2. Use the included convert.py on an ICFP .ant file:
   convert.py <filename.ant>
3. Run formicidae.[sh|bat], and provide a world (ICFP maps included in
   the worlds/ subdirectory) and two .antc files
4. Check ICFP Mode
5. Enjoy the match
