Hi, I have made the animation above where each time a cube jumps it duplicates itself and lands on the next two stairs from where it jumped.
So at every jump the number of cubes doubles.
I want some suggestions on how I can relay this better to the viewer. As you can see lots of animations are currently "stacking" making it harder for a viewer to understand the concept. Is making the cubes cover the full width of the staircase my best option?
Oh wait, I think I see what you mean by 'stacking' and doubling.
You are right, that is completely unclear, there is no way anyone can understand that that is what is happening, because two or more cubes at the same place, look the same as one cube.
So, what you can do is offsetting the duplicates horizontally.
I'm pretty sure they do double Martin :) At first jump the first cube goes into 2. Then at next jump those 2 go into 4. Then at next jump those 4 go into 8 and so on ... :)
But you're right it might be harder to see due to the animations stacking. Let's see if I can add a frame from when there are 2 cubes jumping.
4 total :)
Edit: Do you think by making the vertices another color (black) in addition to offsetting the cubes would help?
Yeah double each time means 2, then 4, then 8, then 16, then 32. How it looks right now is more like it adds one cube each time. So it goes from 2, to 3, to 4, to 5.
I guess you would need a very very large staircase to start with, since if it's going to double each time it'll grow exponentially fast if you want to show a cube per rung of the stairs. Unless the also grow sideways? Or maybe the stairs also grow as the cubes double each step?
