Einar Host - Escher in Elm
his is a live coding session based on a classic 1982 paper by Peter Henderson. The paper shows the decomposition and reconstruction of Escher's woodcutting "Square Limit", a beautiful recursive tessellation of interleaving fish, using functional programming. We will define a set of functions that operate on pictures - transforming them and composing them into more complex pictures. With these functions implemented, we will follow in Henderson's footsteps to create a replica of Escher's Square Limit as an SVG. We will use Elm as the implementation language.
