Scripting and Dynamics - III

I started working on how to implement things for this module and since my coursework is going to be script heavy I decided to take my time and plan the features and the design of this small piece of software.

I identified three major problems to solve:

• How to represent the grid in Maya
• How to enable the user to edit the material of each individual cell
• How to create an “active” item that starts spreading fire once it collides with a cell

My plan is to implement the grid first, and I will experiment with basic polyCubes for now to see if they can be also used to detect collision programmatically.

Stay tuned for updates on how this evolves!
