%N Langton's ant on a three-dimensional grid: number of blue cells on the grid after n moves of the ant.

%C The ant starts on a completely white grid.

%C Order of operations: turn 90 degrees, change cell color, move forward one unit.

%C The rules governing the movement of the ant and the change of cell colors are shown in the following table:

%C Cell color at | Direction of | Color the cell is

%C start of iteration | 90-degree turn | changed to

%C --------------------------------------------------------

%C white | right | black

%C black | left | blue

%C blue | up | yellow

%C yellow | down | white
