Some stuff I decided to put on codeberg.

Also, high five if you recognize the fucking hell hole that is that background landscape.

    picture a square that is n times n, grid size 1. cut it diagonaly, you have n²/2, but that leaves out the bunch of triangles that are 1/2 each. how many of these triangles are there? n.

    so we are left with n²/2 + n/2.

    which is (n² + n)/2.

    which is n(n + 1)/2.


    edit.: maybe using an irl example like counting steps on a staircase and their area could help ilustrate it better, idk.
