Hoopwalk

Hoopwalk is an explainatory video showing the possibilities of combining hoopsnake and shortestwalk in Grasshopper. It is build around a basic setup that will show you the power of these two components.

Comment by Michael Pryor on October 21, 2012 at 11:25am: djorge, data recorder is one way, or hoopsnake, culling the used point before the data is ran again.

Comment by djordje on October 21, 2012 at 11:04am: Very interesting Sander!!
How did you achieve ability of definition to recognize when a point has been used twice?

Comment by Marios Tsiliakos on October 21, 2012 at 8:50am: I see. Thank you for the clarification Sander..

Comment by Sander Mulders on October 21, 2012 at 8:28am: Hi Marios,

Hidden in the video is a set of possible lines, the paths, which are a basic grid without diagonal lines. Just horizontal and vertical movement. The experiment can be redone easily with a different set of possible path ie. diagonal lines.

The purpose of the file is mainly to show some of the possibilities combining hoopsnake with other scripts. In this case by eliminating options within every iteration.

Comment by Marios Tsiliakos on October 21, 2012 at 8:15am: Hi Sanders,

Really interesting experiment! So you basically avoid self intersection and colliding paths by only using each point of the grid just once, hoopsnake facilitated? I fail to notice the use of minimal path here? Is it to avoid diagonal lines? Could you please elaborate?
