Currently in mad scientist mode, adapting place value tiles as a puzzle where you make rectangles out of shapes. Unlike many #math games, when players figure out they're just factoring numbers they can get really good at it, and before they suspect anything, they're experts at factoring quadratics.

Happy Eid al-Fitr! I'm still working on the Islamic #Geometry sketches. This one came out all right. It's based on a design found in a mosque in Marrakech. I found it in Eric Broug's book. Lots of transformations: reflection, rotation, translation. #math

More Islamic patterns with a #Python package based on @processing.org called py5. Also with a little too much trial and error from somebody who claims to be a math guy. 😬 📏

Writing about learning #geometry through coding up Islamic patterns. Today it's hexagonal fractals! #math #programming #python

What says Saturday fun more than multiplying and dividing 9th degree polynomials? You only need the coefficients. #math #python #programming

They say I’m not a romantic guy but I never forget February 14th, the day in 1970 that The Who played their legendary concert at Leeds University, immortalized in their classic Live At Leeds album. ❤️👂🎸

This year the family asked me to make #pizza for Xmas. #sourdough #baking

All done with #AdventOfCode 2024. Fun ride as always!

Most memorable days for me:
- Day 14 (find the tree)
- Day 21 (robots inception)
- Day 24 (so that's how binary addition works!)

#py5 was very nice for making animations and I learned to use a statemachine to manage vis data

I just completed "Red-Nosed Reports" - Day 2 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/2

Happy Advent of Code! Are you coding along this year? #Python

I love harmonographs or whatever this is called! 🤩
