These are indeed quite cool. I went to look up who this is, and I found the following Pokemon agent-based model of his: https://twitter.com/matthen2/status/1543226572592783362

Super cool. I'd be interested if he has a write up for how he creates the animations, especially the panning and zooming around, which is quite nice.

He also appeared in a number of Numberphile episodes on YouTube (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLt5AfwLFPxWKgImYwrKIL3iWw...).

Interesting! I recently wanted to make something similar and I completely fell in love with https://www.manim.community/ created by 3B1B.

While at it, let me just say that I’ve become a big fan of Desmos (https://www.desmos.com/). I’m in no way affiliated with them, just a happy casual user.

Does anyone know of a forum that discusses making this kind of thing? I am making some illustrations and struggling with questions such as a good range of colors that display well both on a computer screen and on a beamer. It'd be great to have folks to talk with.

There’s also https://reanimate.github.io/, which is the same thing for Haskell.
