Prevented "Death Spirals": Fixed a critical issue where ants would form inescapable clusters (ant mills). Replaced the flawed "Backward Sensor" logic with a Forward Bias Inertia model, allowing ants to naturally break out of high-density pheromone clouds.
Path Reinforcement:
Smart U-Turn: Ants now perform an immediate 180° turn upon returning to the nest, ensuring they re-enter the trail they just established.
Always Recharge: Ants now replenish their pheromone supply every time they visit the nest (even without food), ensuring the "Home" signal remains strong for other foragers.
Pause Functionality: Added a robust Pause/Resume feature (Spacebar), allowing users to inspect the colony state without simulation running.
Glass Border Effect: Implemented a visual border for the simulation tank.
Dynamic Settings: Exposed more simulation parameters to the UI for real-time tuning.
Updated
README.md
with new control instructions and feature explanations.
Added updated screenshots demonstrating the improved simulation behavior.
