Yeah, this is definitely a very blunt MVP. I have some loftier ideas for how to engage the user, but they take a lot…
It is the just Forest haha. Yeah, having a target number of ants or varying sizes could be interesting but I don't want small ants dying either :'( Agreed in game time is nice to match up to real life.

Yeah. All of this code is written in Rust and running in WASM. I found it challenging to interface async JS callbacks with my Rust code. After I spent a bit of time trying to get what I thought the easiest route was to work (geolocation API) and failed on a simple callback, I decided to just throw in the lat/long inputs and see if people liked the feature at all. I agree that the best solution is one where the user doesn't even have to think about this feature
