FAQ

Quick answers about gameplay, technology, and privacy.

General

  • What is AI Ant Civilization?

    AI Ant Civilization is a free browser-based ant colony simulation. Each ant is an agent with simple rules; the colony emerges from their interactions.

  • Is the game free?

    Yes. No login, no download, no payment.

  • Which languages are supported?

    English and Simplified Chinese. Use the language switch in the top bar.

Gameplay

  • How do I unlock the next level?

    Complete all goals of the current level. The next level is unlocked automatically and grants upgrade points (UP).

  • What is UP used for?

    UP unlocks permanent meta-upgrades: extra starting food, more starting ants, or extra starting soldiers.

  • What is the drive-away tool?

    It pushes back predators near the cursor. Use it to defend the nest from spiders and beetles.

Tech

  • What tech stack does the game use?

    Next.js (App Router) for routing and SEO, PixiJS for the canvas render, and a custom simulation engine in TypeScript.

  • Does the game collect my data?

    No. The game does not collect personal data. Save files are stored locally in your browser.

  • Why is the simulation slow on my device?

    Try a lower simulation speed or close other tabs. WebGL is required; very old devices may not be supported.
