No one can see it – it’s marked “private.” ]]> Comment on MAKER: Drawing with Light by Adam Thomas https://talkingsticklearningcenter.org/maker-drawing-with-light/#comment-1300 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 15:42:29 +0000 http://talkingsticklearningcenter.org/?p=4356#comment-1300 Thanks Lisa! ]]> Comment on MAKER: Drawing with Light by Lisa https://talkingsticklearningcenter.org/maker-drawing-with-light/#comment-1296 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 20:32:12 +0000 http://talkingsticklearningcenter.org/?p=4356#comment-1296 So cool!

In effect, you represent each octal digit as a 3-digit binary number.
\ corresponds to bit 0.
_ corresponds to bit 1.
/ corresponds to bit 2.
So, digit 1 to 7 are \ (1=001), _ (2=010), _\ (3=011), / (4=100), /\ (5=101), /_ (6=110), /_\ (7=111).
But I guess you need to somehow represent zero or leave a big space for zero.

Adding the numbers are just like adding binary numbers.
>> it just falls together like that. if you ever add and end up with two lines on the same side, ”carry” it by moving it clockwise.
So, it is essentially “carry” it to the next binary position.
Very interesting way to represent octal numbers visually.
