This thesis develops a simulation and visualization of a path finding algorithm based on
ant pheromone paths created in 3D space. The simulation is useful as a demonstration of
a heuristic approach to NP-complete problems and as an educational tool for
demonstrating how ant colonies gather food. An interactive real time 3D visualization is
built on top of the simulation. A graphical user interface layer allows user interaction
with the simulation and visualization.
