Light-Eating Bots

The next iteration, still in p5.js, retains the light following mechanic and the movement differences between the bots, but now lets the bots modify their environment - ‘eating‘ light leaves behind darkness, which takes time to ‘regrow‘ and become light again (see this video). Aside from their different paths, we can notice that the bots take in different amounts of information - notably, the asymmetric bot takes in more information about its environment than the ‘standard‘ bot does.
