A playful venture into the vast and mysterious forests of combinatorial game theory. This one simple game will change the way you look at numbers forever! Hackenbush is easy to pick up, but exploring its strategy leads us down a fantastical mathematical rabbit hole, through which can be found the roots of our familiar number system, intricately entangled with a host of new and exotic numeric species lurking alongside them. Script, narrations, animations, and soundtrack were all done by me. Special thanks to my friends @whirligig231, @derpky, @emileserper, @flavoredsaucer, and @walgrey_tweets for concurrent feedback on all aspects of the video during its production. Made with Manim Community: My music channel: 0:00 Intro 2:05 Starting at the Roots 4:26 Branching Out 6:38 Tabulating Trees 9:10 Into the Weeds 12:25 Going Green 16:27 Binary Beanstalks 21:00 Positive Petals 27:16 But What Are Numbers?
