made a generative knitting pattern toy to contemplate some crafting - please share if you find some cool ones or knit it up!

knitting pattern with reflections and columns of patterns with 2 shades of pink/purple and one blue grid is 48x48
knitting pattern with repetitions and reflections with 3 shades of blue 32x32 grid
knitting pattern almost looks like sideways cants on a line with 3 shades of blue on a 64x64 grid

I thought I'd work on learning to animate svgs today:

Of course they are birbs – 1000 of them.

Woo! I slipped a little topology into this project at work-who doesn’t like coffee and donuts?

I was 98% accurate!

Hi all! I am hosting the Carnival of Mathematics for March. Please submit any amazing math articles, news, art, music, and musings here: https://aperiodical.com/carnival-of-mathematics/

I’m super excited to host Carnival 225 - if you have extra fun facts about this number please share. I plan to make some artwork for it.

I did it!

31 sketches for Genuary! I focused on polar coordinates and rotational symmetries with some deviations.

This needs tweaks, but if you want to endlessly add fibonacci numbers...

Is it endless?

What is the average score of randomly moving until you lose?

do you play better when you don't try?

I might bother to answer these, I might not.

It should work on mobile other than not having a delay when you hit the end. (I need to figure out how to fix that)

HI all. I currently have my website (fractalkitty.com) with wordpress and my renewal is coming up. My site has grown much larger than the original plan and I am reassessing if I should stay with wordpress.com or migrate to something else. Any suggestions or thoughts?

I jumped into this with out a ton of know-how originally and want to reevaluate to make sure I want to keep doing things this way. Thanks in advance. I know migration would be quite the task.

SumFib

After playing simple yet addictive games like Threes and 2048, I wondered how the gameplay mechanics would translate using Fibonacci numbers, which introduce a unique twist. I wrote a prototype in p5js. You can swipe on mobile or use arrows/WASD on desktop. I did this in about a day and unit tested it the following day. If you find errors or have suggestions please let me know.

I may have coded symmetric budgies.

Click to change.

Press q to make a budgie quilt.

Press s to save.

Check it out - my friend @speleo published a new blog post - Integers in our Continuum

https://kylehovey.github.io/blog/the-integers-in-our-continuum

I spent hours contemplating the construction of von Neumann Ordinals for the artwork (And will probably spend many more on consciousness and the continuum.)

I am super excited for my friend Paulina's new book:

Mapmatics: A Mathematician's Guide to Navigating the World

If anyone in the media space is interested in doing a book review, please DM me, and I can provide information on how to get an advanced copy.

Visual for Fiddler on the Proof problem last Friday. These are the first 10,000 numbers with color coding for f(N) = 0,1,2, and 3 (3 is white).

Click to see only f(N)=3, press space to see gridded visual.

This is the code mentioned in this weeks article.
