%N Langton's ant on a truncated trihexagonal tiling: number of black cells after n moves of the ant when starting on a dodecagon.

%C On a white dodecagon, turn 30 degrees right, flip the color of the tile, then move forward one unit.

%C On a black dodecagon, turn 30 degrees left, flip the color of the tile, then move forward one unit.

%C On a white hexagon, turn 60 degrees right, flip the color of the tile, then move forward one unit.

%C On a black hexagon, turn 60 degrees left, flip the color of the tile, then move forward one unit.

%C On a white square, turn 90 degrees right, flip the color of the tile, then move forward one unit.

%C On a black square, turn 90 degrees left, flip the color of the tile, then move forward one unit.
