This is fourth 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 Curves of Pursuit. In this video, I code in real time while creating a collection of nested squares (shrinking in size and rotating). These create approximations of so-called curves of pursuit, and I show how to use the software to create these curves approximately.by creating new manim objects from a set of points.

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