Labyrinth Runner
You find yourself in the middle of a labyrinth. Find the fastest way to the exit. The arrow, in front of you always points towards the target. While running you leave a track of 'bread crumbs' (people, trees, birds, ... ). Slowly the labyrinth gets inhabited showing you which paths you have explored or might have missed. Be careful you only have a limited number of breadcrums, when they run out you lost!

Background
All labyrinths that can be explored, are generated by a Grasshopper script within Rhino3d. They are designed, so that the shortest path leading from A to B is as hard as possible to find.Therefore it's important that the labyrinth can not be represented by a tree, containing only dead ends, but by a network, providing circles. Through that it is possible to loose orientation and revisit paths.
Playing the game, trying to find the shortest way, you can help to prove / disprove this design approach. Further questions might arise.

Awesome use of galapagos! I'm just beginning to play around with it.
On a side note, is there a chance you could re-upload the "virtual plant" example file from 2008? Seems to have been taken down.
Cheers!
Hmm lost the file when I changed webspace...
Will have a look if I can find it somewhere in the chaos of my hard drives and backups ... (it must be somewhere)
