In the actual implementation of this the ants can't even consider the obstacle squares, they are only given the free squares to choose a new position.
Figure 1 - The ant would randomly choose either grid square 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6.

Stop Ants Dancing
In order to stop the ants dancing when they encounter an obstacle, the movement algorithm now randomly selects one of the free squares for the ant to move to. This results in a more natural movement of the ants as before it was a pong-like movement with the ants just bouncing off.
