Wagner James Au points out that a Second Lifer has programmed some ants to seek out and find food and in turn to recruit other ants to help out. The clip above, courtesy of New World Notes, shows the ants leaving pheromone trails as they wander to aid in their recruitment.
Pretty cool stuff. I could see this sort of thing being used in a game. Can you imagine a game that has your character leaving a scent trail and features dogs that can track him or her?
