Detailed Description

A TH2Poly build with Fibonacci numbers.

In mathematics, the Fibonacci sequence is a suite of integer in which every number is the sum of the two preceding one.

The first 10 Fibonacci numbers are:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, ...

This tutorial computes Fibonacci numbers and uses them to build a TH2Poly producing the "Fibonacci spiral" created by drawing circular arcs connecting the opposite corners of squares in the Fibonacci tiling.
