Ants is an interactive “game” which involves ants crawling around on your screen. Based on the principles of A-Life, they react to what you do. Kill them, shake them off, scare them.

Changes:

Ants 1.2.0 is out. This’ll be the final release before 2.0 (probably). Features include a couple bug fixes, addition of the spawn rate adjuster in the controller app (requested many times). Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see (besides more bugs – that’s already in the plan). You can already start mucking with the details of bugs in /usr/local/share/ants/bugs.plist. Just make a backup.

Woopsi, formerly known as WindowSystemDS has been updated:

Changes:

* Added woopsi class and moved event handling into it
* Moved bits and bobs around so that more is available in the base gadget class
* Added a pointer to the active gadget in windows so that loops are no longer needed to find it
* Changed filled rect function to draw vertical or horizontal lines instead of pixels
* Changed window activation so that click events are passed to gadgets immediately, rather than requiring a second click, as the former makes more sense with a touchscreen
