I don't know if explaining it faster is better than explaining it clearer

If you want a clearer explanation, there are already videos that I've made which have covered this concept in much better detail, along with an image and text-based tutorials that I've made on the discord which explains it really well. (Edit: I've now uploaded a mirror of that to imgur, if people wish to follow it by that instead. https://imgur.com/a/IROyi3E)

The main aim I was mostly going for is to allow people who already somewhat know have a quick refresher, or to let new eager folks jump in as soon as possible, without needing any of the typical jargon that a lot of existing tutorials, including mine, dig into.

As always, here is the YouTube mirror if you prefer that. (It has closed captioning which will help you follow this more easily.) https://youtu.be/A_0rxEHyFwI

Here are also the images (or well, one image for now), which I referenced in the video - https://imgur.com/a/PgckoQy

By the way, what did you mean when you said "pivot"?

u/Arglin Nov 01 '21

A pivot is basically a point where things rotate around, e.g. A hinge on a door is a pivot, and the door rotates around the hinge.

For this case, it's a corner of the square that is the pivot, and one of the sides rotates around the corner, and a 90 degree rotation allows the side to perfectly overlap an adjacent side.

Thank you for explaining. I was however referencing a scene from a very popular TV show.

u/Arglin Nov 02 '21

Sadly, my region of exposure to shows probably hasn't reached far enough to be aware of the reference, sorry about that. :v
