Hi! Background: I’m trying to make a point (represented as a sphere) move along a path (represented as a maze with walls as boundaries). I want this to happen in real-time, meaning I would supply GH initial values (such as the starting point), and the whole thing would start going according to a…

Hi… i’m late. In a c# script you can use “external” values (out of main “RunScript” method) to work with iterations. Code explain it better by itself. Here a small example by using one point, two vectors and a value (double): [nanogame] [nanogame] nanogame.gh (9.3 KB) At every iteration (each…

I wrote a bit about how I develop real-time dynamic systems using GHPython here: [image] Sticky variable alternative Grasshopper Yes that’s exactly correct, I find it much simpler for encapsulating local persistent/dynamic logic (than sticky). I’d advice against using g…

Read all of your references - THANKS man! I’ll go ahead and try it now and come back with conclusions.

Perfect! Thank you very much! Combining yours and Anders solution is probably the right way for us to go :slight_smile:

@AndersDeleuran @maje90 Getting pretty desperate on this one… Any idea on how to get the ball to not collide with the walls? Tried using Kangaroo but my laptop can’t handle it. Went for Riccardo’s way of implementing the movement. In the C# script I tried going over all the points dividing the w…

Hi @alon.derfner , Are you after a real-time physics simulation, with a blind mouse (sphere) moving through the maze by navigating like a blind animal would, probing constantly for collisions with obstacles (i.e walls)? As mentioned above, this could either be done with a complex script (Python, C#…

Do you really need a simulation for this? If you just want to use the “right-hand rule” you can solve it with a couple of offsets and that’s it.

This reply is slightly off topic because it’s user-driven not mouse-driven, but I thought the idea of combining this with Kangaroo was interesting… A simple C# component detects keypresses in Grasshopper (which, as a by-product, also move the window around…) [keypress] Those keypresses are conve…

Very late night (or early morning) madness here. This is what I was referring to with offsets: If we are talking about a maze with all the walls connected to the external perimeter, following the right/left hand rule will always lead to the exit, because somehow the 2 points (start and exit) are a…

Wow! Thank you very much, great insights!

This was a huge contribution to my final result. I was missing the final piece in making Kangaroo work, and you had it. Thanks!!
