A Suite of Settings
This is at it's core a productivity app. It's not meant to be your main focus. A suite of settings exists to match what kind of desktop ant farm you want. A range of audio settings, visual effects, font choice, and the ability to toggle off the Window Priority if you don't want it persisting over everything. This is in addition to the wide range of camera, zoom, and view orientation options. Resize the window however you see fit. Dynamically change between portrait and landscape. Zoom five different levels with [alt]. Make the window borderless with [tab]. Make it tiny. Make it fullscreen. The goal is to set up an ant farm buddy that works for you while you go off and do whatever you need on your PC.
