Langton's Ant Extended

Multi-color turmites — arbitrary turn sequences produce emergent structure

Rule string

Presets

Steps: 0
Colors: 2
Ant pos:

R=turn right, L=left, U=U-turn, N=no turn. The ant advances and flips the cell to the next color.

RL gives the classic highway after ~10,000 steps. Other sequences can produce triangles, spirals, filled regions, or chaos.
