i will use this thread to put short questions that require a simple answer. OPEN QUESTIONS: none atm
i will check on this forum , on google and the Grasshopper primer before posting.
if you have the time, please do answer, i really appreciate the input!
here we go:
1. can i pick the widgets that load at startup?
2. on the Random Component, what does the "seed of random engine" input value refer to?
1. Widgets should remember their hide/show status. Except I've disabled the Profiler widget from showing up automatically in all cases now.
2. Random generators in computers are not truly random (this is actually impossible in a deterministic machine as far as I know), they generate the same pseudo random sequence over and over again. By changing the seed value, you can have it output a different pseudo random sequence.
No, not yet. I did build in some abortion routines, but at present they are only called between components, and most of the time is usually spend in a single component, so they are pretty much useless.
I need to add more abortion checks and a method of keeping an eye on the escape key (or some other button somewhere) while the solution is being processed.
