Area Descriptions
- Top: Title bar
- Middle: Four large switch boxes with ON/OFF glow effect
- Lower middle: Binary pattern and decimal equivalence
- Bottom: Counting sequence and closing message
Assets & Dependencies
- Fonts: LaTeX / sans-serif
- Manim version: ManimCE 0.19.1
Notes
- OFF switches are dark grey with red tint; ON switches glow bright green
- Decimal conversion uses positional notation: 2^3, 2^2, 2^1, 2^0
- Transitions between patterns use smooth color animations
