This repository contains Manim-generated scenes used in 3Blue1Brown explanatory math videos.
About Videos
This repository holds the Python code used to generate the explanatory math videos on the 3Blue1Brown channel. Most of the code consists of scenes built with the Manim animation library. The author states that the scenes are written for 3b1b/manim, not the community edition, so some functionality may differ. Older scenes may depend on earlier Manim versions and may not run without changes.
The README also describes the author's editing workflow. It uses manimgl's interactive mode, where a command can drop the user into a scene at a chosen line. A helper called checkpoint_paste runs copied code against saved scene states. The repository includes Sublime Text plugin files for this workflow, and the README gives keyboard shortcut examples. The README notes that the Sublime setup is optional and that other text editors can reproduce the same behavior.
