The objective of this project is to create a concurrent system to simulate a population of ants walking between nodes in a graph. Aiming for a realistic approach, where each edge has a cost of passing through it and this is translated into a sleeping time for every ant which chooses to pass by to any of them.

In order to active the obviously useful command history for erl, simply by defining the following environment variable enables this feature.

$ export ERL_AFLAGS="-kernel shell_history enabled"

$ make

erl> c(main).
{ok,main}
erl> M = main:init(<test_case_file>).
erl> M ! {createAnts, <n>, <start_node_pid>}.
erl> M ! {init}.
