manim-slides VS manim

After more than one year of existence, Manim Slides has gained many cool features, and is a tool I hope many find useful for presenting maths related content.

Since my last post (v4.10), Manim Slides has received a few more features that I'd like to share here!

The documentation I use (where video slides are not loaded): https://eertmans.be/manim-slides

Today, I'm releasing a new feature on my tool Manim Slides that allows to convert a series of math animations made with Manim into one PowerPoint file.

Hello :) I have created Manim Slides, an extension to Manim which should do what you need: https://github.com/jeertmans/manim-slides

Beamer seemed like too much work when I tried it? I've used and really like reveal.js. There's even manim integration: https://github.com/jeertmans/manim-slides

If you feel that something is missing, please feel free to file an issue on GitHub, or to comment here! I'd be super glad to make this documentation complete :D

Over the past month, Manim Slides has rapidly grown, gaining many features and a bit of maturity (in terms of code quality) every new release.

Manim Slides v4.8.0 was recently released, and I'm very happy to share with you the recent updates:

I'm glad to announce that Manim Slides v4.6 is now released and allows creating nice HTML slides using RevealJS. This way, you can easily share your presentation to others, without needed them to install anything! See the example tutorial here.

manim – A community-maintained Python framework for creating mathematical animations

I recently wanted to make something similar and I completely fell in love with https://www.manim.community/ created by 3B1B.

https://github.com/gumyr/build123d :

> Build123d is a python-based, parametric, boundary representation (BREP) modeling framework for 2D and 3D CAD. It's built on the Open Cascade geometric kernel and allows for the creation of complex models using a simple and intuitive python syntax. Build123d can be used to create models for 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, and other manufacturing processes. Models can be exported to a wide variety of popular CAD tools such as FreeCAD and SolidWorks.

> Build123d could be considered as an evolution of CadQuery where the somewhat restrictive Fluent API (method chaining) is replaced with stateful context managers* - e.g. with blocks - thus enabling the full python toolbox: for loops, references to objects, object sorting and filtering, etc.*

NURBS for COMPAS: https://github.com/gramaziokohler/compas_nurbs :

> This package is inspired by the NURBS-Python package, however uses a NumPy-based backend for better performance.

> Curve, and Surface are non-uniform non-rational B-Spline geometries (NUBS), RationalCurve, and RationalSurface are non-uniform rational B-Spline Geometries (NURBS). They all built upon the class BSpline. Coordinates have to be in 3D space (x, y, z)

A template language that I wrote for generating HTML. Meant to be included as a C++ library. https://github.com/Ghoti-io/Tang

Plenty of other C++ code of mine is on Github (such as a bunch of utility stuff, a thread pool, and a HTTP server that I'm writing from scratch), even though I would only call myself an intermediate C++ programmer. I just happen to like the language.

Or, if I had to throw other stuff into the mix, a fairly recent patch to Manim (Python) that got accepted (https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim/pull/3155).

If I were really pressed, I would dig up a lot of my Drupal (PHP) stuff that I did years ago.

I would love to have this https://github.com/manimCommunity/manim written in Rust. There have been previous attempts (bevy_manim and another one using nannou) but all of them are outdated
