This app visualizes a specially built interactive Ant algorithm that optimizes the TSP (Traveling Salesman Problem) problem.
Ant algorithms are swarm algorithms. At each iteration of the algorithm, each ant leads (certain amount - in the GUI customizable) a tour of all of the terms. The tour is based on the distance and the pheromones content on paths. The pheromones lot on the way to evaporate over time and increases when an ant used the way. performs the more iterations of the algorithm, the better the Tour of certain ant until convergence is achieved.

The big difference to other visualizations that we can divide an iteration steps. In a step all the ants go from a given point A to a point B. In this visualization, you can stop after each step to view the pheromones that ants routes or even animate the ant behavior in the current iteration.
In addition, we have implemented the ability to change the amount of pheromone on the paths to influence the ants route construction in future iterations.
