I am working on a simulation that involves breeding ants. I would like to find out a way to, when two ants collide, check if the other is male or female, and then, if M & F, create a new ant.

Testing and Changing Variables from a Collision
How do you track the sex of the ants? Do you use a variable, or do you have different subclasses (MaleAnt vs FemaleAnt)?
I would like to track it by setting a variable.
An emaple would be...
if(getOneIntersectingObject(Ant.class)!=null)
{
}
How do I specifically read a variable from the ant I have collided with?
Believe that you need a reference to the specific ant, like so. All you need is a int called gender.
Ant ant = (Ant) getOneIntersectingObject(Ant.class);
if(ant != null)
{
if(ant.gender != this.gender)
{
getWorld().addObject(new Ant(), x, y);
}
}
Thanks, it seems to be working!
If you could give me any advice on how to improve the scenario, it would be much appreciated!
