Very cool!  HoopSnake provides a critical function (looping) that is missing from standard GH, but my experience with it so far has been frustrating.  It doesn't seem to play well with clusters, either communicating with them or being inside of one, where its UI features (reset, loop, step, etc.) are inaccessible.  Too bad because looping and recursion are very basic programming features that are REALLY IMPORTANT for getting serious work done.  But so is the idea of clusters, so if they don't work together, HoopSnake is only a toy, as far as I'm concerned.  And I'm beginning to wonder about GH itself as a serious tool...

Hi all!

I vote for kangaroo!

This is just a draft. It works with point-brep collisions. You could add random starting angle, score keeping and maybe change the shape of the player so that the ball changes angle every time you hit it.

You can also find some more games posted here: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/coffee-and-grasshopper/forum/top...

cheers, Nikos

Yikes!..... in 1987 when I got my hands on an Apple II computer, it came with a Pong game written in Basic.  Even the graphics 28 years ago were better....LOL!
