See computer science in 3D. Arrays become towers. Trees become
branching geometry. Sorting unfolds before your eyes. 12 visual
steps from arrays to Big-O — all inside Grasshopper.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Learn fundamental computer science — inside Grasshopper.
This single C# Script component is a complete 12-step course
through the data structures and algorithms every programmer
should know. Slide a number from 1 to 12 and a colour-coded 3D
NURBS diagram builds itself in your Rhino viewport. Arrays become
bar charts. Linked lists become node chains. Binary trees branch
in 3D space. Dijkstra's shortest path glows green through a
weighted graph. A Sierpinski triangle builds itself recursively.
Designed for computational designers who want to understand the
CS fundamentals behind the tools they use every day — because
DataTrees are trees, point lists are arrays, and mesh traversal
is graph theory.
▸ THE 12 STEPS
1 Arrays & Indexing — contiguous memory, O(1) access,
fixed size vs List<T>, multi-dimensional arrays.
2 Linked Lists — nodes and pointers, singly/doubly linked,
O(1) insert, O(n) access, vs arrays comparison.
3 Stacks & Queues — LIFO (undo history) vs FIFO (BFS),
Push/Pop, Enqueue/Dequeue, priority queues.
4 Hash Tables — hash functions, bucket indexing, collision
resolution (chaining), Dictionary<K,V>, O(1) average.
5 Bubble Sort — adjacent swaps, passes, optimisation flag,
O(n²) complexity, comparison to QuickSort/MergeSort.
6 Binary Search — divide and conquer, O(log n), sorted
requirement, elimination visualisation.
7 Binary Trees — BST property (left < parent < right),
root/leaf/depth terminology, balanced vs skewed.
8 Tree Traversal — in-order (sorted!), pre-order, post-order,
BFS level-by-level. DFS uses stack, BFS uses queue.
9 Graphs — vertices + edges, directed/undirected/weighted,
adjacency lists, AEC applications (circulation, networks).
10 Dijkstra's Algorithm — shortest path with weights, priority
queue, edge relaxation, path reconstruction.
11 Recursion & Fractals — base case, recursive step, call stack,
Sierpinski triangle, memoisation, AEC applications.
12 Big-O Complexity — O(1) through O(2^n) growth comparison,
practical examples, analysis rules of thumb.

PRICING
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Standalone: $14.99 USD
Bundle + C#: $22.99 (DSA + Learn C#)
Triple: $29.99 (DSA + C# + Python)
Mega Bundle: $39.99 (DSA + C# + Python + Linux)
Free / PWYW: For maximum reach
Pricing rationale: DSA commands a slight premium over the
language-learning scripts because it covers a broader CS
curriculum and appeals beyond the Rhino/GH community.

Learn CS in 3D — inside Grasshopper.
Arrays as towers. Binary trees in space. Dijkstra's path
glowing green. Sierpinski building itself recursively.
12 interactive steps. Zero plugins.

INSTAGRAM / LINKEDIN:
What if your CS textbook was a Grasshopper definition?
12 steps from "what is an array?" to Big-O complexity
analysis. Every data structure generates 3D geometry you
can orbit in Rhino. Bubble sort unfolds as tower heights.
Binary search eliminates halves in real-time. A Sierpinski
triangle builds itself through recursive function calls.
Because DataTrees ARE trees. Point lists ARE arrays.
Mesh traversal IS graph theory.
1,231 lines. Zero plugins. Zero prior CS experience.
