Unfortunately, while the code is mine to reuse, it is not
mine to distribute, and I can not post it in toto. But you
probably wouldn't want that ;) It's four programs, each
about a thousand lines, and the math (actually, geometry)
behind the path generation is hard to follow (involving
three cartesian systems and two polar systems, and multiple
translations between them.)
Sorry, don't mean to suggest it's not of interest or too
hard to understand, 'cause neither are probably true, but I
still couldn't post it all...and being a huge open source bigot
myself, it's not easy for me to say that. | [reply] |
Oh how the Gods have frowned upon me on this dark day. A thirst nearly quenched, only made worse by proximity to the panacea code. A thousand years in the darkest dungeon have I been through without my beloved robotcode, and an eternity of torture and death awaits now that my one true chance for ultimate liberation through the code of robot has gone.
I can smell the sulfur and corpses already. Decomposing jaws mouthing, "ro...bot...code. Want...robot...code." A metaphor for myself and my needs. I can feel the pain, the pure, unadulterated pain of living without the robot code. I can hear the screams of a thousand lost souls in the aether crying for robotcode.

Were this robot code in a general sense, I would feel good
in quenching such thirst. But this is robot code of the
highly specialized sort, good for doing one thing, and it will
never mix drinks, nor fetch your newspaper, nor find your
pipe. It can't even play music by itself.
This robot knows how to follow an edge, if mathematically
defined to close enough tolerance. Definitely not cutting
edge stuff. Now if we ported Perl to the mindstorms, maybe
tacking on a few i960 coprocessors, that'd be something...
