This is a fun project.  Was it inspired by this year's ICFP contest?

I've been browsing through your source and it looks very nice to me.  
Naturally, some docs would help a lot.

As far as the game goes, I would like to see more complicated boards.  
Even the ICFP simulator had obstacles (rocky terrain) and the 
programming environment there was far more restricted.  You have a full 
programming language to play with, so problems like pathfinding are 
much more reasonable.  Might as well take advantage of that, I say, 
opening up the possibility for some clever ant creations.

As a died-hard gamer, I'll be very sad if you don't submit this idea, 
when it's ready.  :D
