Advanced Design Scripting and Programming

C# provides high-performance interaction with Rhino/Grasshopper modelling via scripting/programming. This enables us to go beyond what is normally possible with the native features alone.
The workshop will cover the following topics:

• Basic C# programming, the .NET framework and concepts in objected-oriented programming
• Going beyond visual programming in Grasshopper with the C# component
• The RhinoCommon API, the library that allow us to interact with Rhino/Grasshopper programmatically
• How to write plugins for Grasshopper with Microsoft Visual Studio and the Grasshopper API
• Program a fast and interactive fl ocking simulation inside Rhino/Grasshopper
• A short introduction to computational complexity and spatial data structure
• Accessing C# code using Python

...and more.

This course reqiures existing experience with Grasshopper. Experience with programming (C++, C#, Python, Processing, Java, etc...) is useful.
