My kids came home from school one day super excited about an exercise where you have to count all the combinations of 5, 10, and 25 cent coins that make a dollar. There's an algorithm for that and I wanted to show it to them.
I wanted to illustrate the algorithm, not to make a slide deck. The idea was I would write a description for the slides and let the machine play artist. Sol LeWitt the conceptual artist had this idea.
Here is an essay about a slide deck for a presentation about counting change. A student asked how I made the animations. I wrote them up!
