Formation Choreography: Dancer Spacing & Symmetry

Choreographing a group number is an assignment problem before it is an art form: given a starting formation and a target formation, which performer moves to which spot, and along what path? This simulator puts a stage of instanced 3D dancers through configurable formation transitions — line, circle, grid, V-wedge, diagonal and a golden-angle spiral — and lets you compare a naive index-order handoff against a greedy nearest-neighbor assignment that shortens and de-crosses the paths, the same heuristic real drill-writing software relies on. Live readouts track the minimum spacing between any two dancers (a collision-safety margin), a mirror-symmetry score of the current arrangement, and the total distance every dancer travels during the transition, so the effect of the optimization is measurable, not just visual.
