Hi Paul, I have a feeling you're about to get more than you bargained for. Kirby is a kind of Ground Zero for Bucky resources on the web--I knew of him from my readings on Synergetics long before meeting up with him in edu-sig. There is plenty of Bucky on the web to choose from, although much (most) of it is copyrighted. The magnum opus, Synergetics, is available here: http://www.rwgrayprojects.com/synergetics/toc/toc.html While it is copyrighted, many of the ideas in it lend themselves to software expressions. When I was reading it (on traditional pulped trees) I felt like there should be an accompanying set of small programs demonstrating the ideas. Bucky expends a lot of text trying to describe 3D animations in prose. --Dethe _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
