Macintosh Common Lisp based ant colony simulation from an MIT master's thesis.
From http://xenia.media.mit.edu/~mt/agar/agar.html :
CompatibilityAgar is a system I built as part of my SM degree work at the Media Lab. It provided a set of objects (world, creatures, sensors, actions, and behaviors) for creating simulations of animal behavior. The behaviors are specified in terms of agents, or small units of behavior. Agar's main example was a simulation of ant food-foraging behavior.
The best description of Agar is in my MS Thesis, Agar: An Animal Construction Kit (1988). Unfortunately this version does not have illustrations.
Agar itself is available in two forms:
- Lisp source for the Macintosh. You need Mac Common Lisp 2.0 to make use of this.
- A runnable application. You don't need Lisp for this, just a Mac. But you can't make new simulations or changes.
Agar's notable distinctions include:
- Winning the prize for "best software insect" at the 2nd Workshop on Artificial Life.
- Being declared a threat to the security of the US Federal Prison System.

Comments
Me, when Mac OS 8 crashed within Bas, it can't be restored except from a backup copy of the boot volume.
It's running OS 7.5.5. Sorry, I forgot to add that.
Probably a Mac OS version used newer than recommended?
Using the program hangs Basilisk II.
