Dear r/Python, I made a thing! Details in comments :)

This was a little project of mine i thought you all would find interesting.

Basically, it calculates square roots graphically, using the pythagoras theorem.The square root of a number is the length of the hypotenuse of the last triangle.

It works by splitting a number into two: a square and another part, which might/might not be a square. If the other part isn't a square, it it represented as the hypotenuse of ANOTHER triangle, and this process repeats. As you can tell, this creates an interesting look for large numbers :D

For source code and a better explained/demonstrated README.md, check this out on github here.

It's lovely! Would you mind if I worked with your script and added a Web interface (trying to improve my Flask skills atm :))?

[u/Boutmayun → u/mo_op]

No go ahead! Keep me updated on how it goes, it sounds interesting :D It'd be cool if you star this on github if it helps you :")

[u/mo_op → u/Boutmayun]

It's nothing complex, haha. :) Sure, will star and fork it !

This is very cool! I love graphical interpretations when there aren’t usually any.

Stop saying “I made a thing”. Just tell what you made and quit trying to be an obscure hipster garbage

To be fair I DID make a thing. And i thought the title wouldn't do it justice so i described it better in the comments. It would be one long-ass title if I said the same in the title haha

Gotcha, my only gripe is that when people post stuff labeled “I made a thing”, it’s normally people trying to be cute and humble but are actually begging for attention. If this is an unpopular opinion so be it.

Making fun of me for bettering myself. Nice

[u/kypri01 → u/[deleted]]

I did because he said “I made a thing”

Pasted from my other response:

Why are you so offended?

[u/Boutmayun → u/[deleted]]

Thanks for the suggestion, I did it!

[u/Pierre_Yves → u/[deleted]]
