Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 6, Documentation: 3, Utility: 3)

A browser-based ant colony simulation that models foraging walks and validates the movement patterns against real ant tracking data, allowing users to toggle between a realistic walk and a random walk. The project is an interesting intersection of simulation, biology, and web visualization, but it is primarily a personal exploration rather than a tool with broad practical application.

Target audience: hobbyist developers, simulation enthusiasts, biology educators
