Heh thanks Luke, back in Sheffield now, catching up and realigning cameras...

Here you see us exploring Fibonacci rabbits. I spent a bit of time quickly exploring the algorithm in Lua, good for exploring the patterns that come out of it. Here though you see us taking a more hands-on approach, where realtalk just took care of recognising green or blue dots, and creating space for one or two dots in the next row/generation respectively. Then we could step through the algorithm ourselves by choosing green or blue plasticine dots, to get a feel for it.

The point wasn't to help Geraldine understand the algorithm, but more for me to try to understand Geraldine's algorithm.. She's done loads of 'cycloid weaving' with wire based on the fibonacci sequence, and developed ways to stretch it out by introducing threads as 'guidelines' in the weave so that she didn't have to remember or count, only follow an algorithm she'd developed. I never fully got my head around it, but began to see the importance of having those guidelines... There's more to do, I wanted to use realtalk to explore different ways of stretching out the fibonacci patterns, but we didn't yet find a nice way of organising the bunnies to make that feasible..

Anyway it was a fun and relaxing time. Sometimes in this kind of situation the 'non-programmers' have to sit around and wait for the programmers to come up with the next thing. With this it was more fluid, and also Geraldine also needed some hours to explore a weaving idea.

By the way this unbranded $10, 5 meter usb c cable is working fine in 4K so far:
