Computer at NRK

Picture combinators and recursive fish
Inspired by last year's keynote at Lambda Days, this is an F# live coding session based on the classic "Functional Geometry" paper by Peter Henderson. If we think of a picture as a function from a bounding box to a rendering, we can define simple yet powerful combinators that allow us create complex pictures with ease and elegance. As a demonstration, we'll make a replica of Henderson's replica of Escher's Square Limit woodcutting - and then we'll see if we can go even further.
