I've added this suggestion to viewtopic.php?f=80&t=3440 What do biters do in their spare time? (Pheromone pathfind)
cause if we have the basic model for pheromones this can also be implemented in a simple way.

Hehe. This subject is a bit different to others, cause there are not much ideas around it (cause the idea itself is really simple?).

Super interesting...

Funny that this topic pops up again. By coincidence I spent the past month getting into Potential Fields and Vector Based path finding set ontop of a Quad Tree map data structure which I would use for a game concept of mine if I ever get that far (probably not due to my lack of self-confidence, but ...

I like the idea of this graphics to implement some behavior. I think that can be implemented also in some kind of specialized programming language or interpreted data-structure.

Which would be useful to have a generalized behavior model that can be programmed in detail but is still very fast.

That's my keyword.

Hehe... @all: if there are more ideas about pheromone based behavior, plz continue in the other thread, cause here it is off topic.
