continou
Companion code to my talk "Finite Flights on an Infinite Plane."

This talk was inspired by Conal Elliott's explanation of images as continuous functions in his wonderful Lambda Jam 2015 talk "Denotational Design: From Meanings To Programs." Conal's talk is filled with rigor, and great information about the formal semantics underlying continuous images; my talk is a non-rigorous dive into building some fun things with and for my local Haskell meetup group.
I have (and am) making some tweaks and additions to the code seen in the talk. I had some good suggestions from the audience, and there were some things I got wrong, and didn't have time before or during the talk to address. I did mistakenly delete the live-coded code in its entirety, immediately following the talk, but it's mostly identical to this repo, which I built in the lead-up to the talk, and then used, viewing diffs commit-by-commit on a second laptop during the talk (thanks Jake!), in order to remember (and get right) each next addition or transformation of the code that I intended to demonstrate. It was a little hectic at first, but ultimately worked out better than I feared.
