shimmies

Previously we used a turn turn and a path path to move sideways.

The shimmy shimmy is a cleaner way to move half a cell left or right:

note

Unlike other , shimmies are 1/4 offset on the grid — they sit halfway between the 1/2 cell points.

Like a path, adjacent shimmies create a phantom channel:

Shimmies are very similar to paths paths — they don’t do anything interesting, and just help us connect things up.

Next we’ll look at handling intersecting paths.
