I know it's horridly ineficient but I'm having to must fun playing with it to do anything about it.

Have fun

Also, it's called ``Improved langton's ants'' because this is a more modular version of one I made earlier.

steps = 10500

lattice = {}

x, y = 0, 0

dx, dy = -1, 0

xmin, xmax = -30, 30

ymin, ymax = -30, 30



for i in range(steps):

    # Flip value

    value = lattice.get((x, y), False)

    lattice[x, y] = not value

    

    # Turn and move

    dx, dy = (dy, -dx) if value else (-dy, dx)

    x, y = x + dx, y + dy



for y in range(ymin, ymax):

    out = []

    for x in range(xmin, xmax):

        value = lattice.get((x, y), False)

        out.append('  ' if value else '[]')

    print ''.join(out)

Why are you using an inferior programming language?
