Instructions

Interactive Pascal's Triangle - The project draws Pascal's Triangle (up to 88 rows) and shades the multiple chosen. Controls: Left / Right or Blue Arrows - change multiple Up / Down or Orange Arrows - change number of rows More information: https://fractalfoundation.org/resources/fractivities/pascals-sierpinski-triangle/

Description

Note: Once the numbers in Pascal's Triangle are greater than 10^21 or so, they start to lose precision in Scratch which results in the 'fuzziness' of the lower, centre half (beyond about 58 rows). Interestingly, there is still symmetry to the fuzziness! Shading all even numbers, that is, multiples of 2, results in a Sierpiński triangle being rendered by the white squares (the odd numbers).
