Can't see no ants...

[Guilouf]

Everything works exepting that.. i can add them underground, but it's not working for surface. Rock, sugar works too. Quit with "q" works too, doesn't seems to be a keyboard issue.
Running on python 3.6

The problem was in fact the global `hole_locations = []``wich was not updated everywhere. I made a quick n dirty patch:

hmmm on python3.6 I get import errors, but after changing all the instances of import thing_class to from . import thing_class, I can't seem to reproduce this.

Feel free to PR these changes if you want, and thanks for looking into it! 😄

I also had this import error problem, fixed by adding to python path.
Everything is working after your fix on your side ? I succeed to have the ants spawning, but the all die after gone through the holes, even with sugar..

ah yeah good idea re: adding python path; this was built completely for python2.7 so I had never bothered checking it works with >=3.

ants should never die in this simulation, they just go underground - check the stats on the right-hand panel and the number of ants underground should increment when ants go into holes.

try holding down the A key and this should force ants above ground. you can also hold U to add more ants underground, or both at the same time.
