Quite cool! Do you plan on releasing your code?

Cheers

Nice demo
Great to see effective collision detection without the use of a trace thus I'm curious to see the initial code
Btw for the wall climbing feature, I posted a working example in the user's request section some time ago but it's not yet perfect ^^ Nevertheless, I think it will fit your needs.

I don't think i will release the code but maybe...
Walking up walls needs some redesigning of the movement and i was too lazy to do it until now but i will do it soon.
More importantly i concentratet on a way of simulating >1000 spiders without performace problems i think i will post a new demo within an hour

Will look forward to see it

Sorry for taking so long but i had some problems with time and script xD
The script allows now to simulate 800 spiders with ca 20fps
EDIT: (still improving it )

Whahaha got it
Click
EDIT:
better version
/EDIT
Now i will implement walking up walls...

Seems to work smooth but I sometimes noticed that the spiders are not fully avoiding eachother but I guess that's due to the big amount for spiders ^^
Nice work, can't wait to see the wall walking aspect which I assume you'll will do for yourself

Cheers

You will never find out the biggest clue and i won't tell
But you are right the code allows only 200 spiders do collision avoiding so some you are seeing wont do it but those are rather far away so you cant tell exacly what they are doing.
Maybe someone can guess what the main trick is until i finshed the wall walking stuff and then i post a demo which shows the trick which is i think a very good way to reduce cpu usage xD (BTW: do you have a link where the walk-walk-con. is?)

I've uploaded it to a private server
Here ya go.
The code is not optimized at this moment be it should give you a proper methode for using wall/ceiling walking.
Know bugs are that you can walk up walls and ceilings but only in one way thus walking back will cause for weird angles. Rotation on walls and ceilings is possible.

Cheers and good luck
