Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Is there any way to actually view the source code for Kangaroo. I am able to open the dll in Visual Studio, but would like to view the algorithms used by Kangaroo.

Kangaroo is not open source so the source code is not avaiable. Opening a dll in Visual Studio does not show you the source code. It only lists the "public" classes and functions that you can use.

However, the algorithm used by Kangaroo 2 is based on this paper http://lgg.epfl.ch/publications/2012/shapeup/index.php

Which in turn is based on a technique called Projective Dynamics, presented in this paper

http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~ladislav/bouaziz14projective/bouaziz14pr...

I also want to point out that the first paper does come with an open source library written in C++, which runs independently from Rhino/Grasshopper. Daniel Piker's implementation in Kangaroo 2 was written in a .NET language (I guess he used C# as most of the scripting examples he shared on this forum were written in C#). However this implementation is not open source.
