This is sixth video in a series inspired by the Talking Maths in Public group, I am trying my hand at showing how I create animations using 3blue1brown's (Grant Sanderson's) Python library ManimGL. The Talking Maths in Public Group encouraged creators to share how they would animate Hilbert Curves. In this video, I code in real time to create a wonderful rotationally symmetric 8x8 Knight's tour due to Dan Thomasson:

Let me know if you would like to see more "how-to-animate" math videos in the future.

If you want the code from this video, it will eventually be available here:
