Imagine you make up a secret dance with jumps, claps, and spins. If you follow a secret rule, can your friend guess your next move before you even make it?
What Is a Pattern?
A pattern is a set of shapes, actions, or numbers that repeats or changes using a set rule.
A simple pattern repeats the exact same core unit over and over, like Clap β Stomp β Clap β Stomp.

Simple repeating patterns are fun, but what happens when a pattern does something more surprising?
Making Complex Patterns
A complex pattern has a rule that does more than just switch between two items.
You can make a complex pattern by growing an action each round, like adding one more jump every single time.
For example, look at this movement sequence: 1 Jump, 1 Clap β 2 Jumps, 1 Clap β 3 Jumps, 1 Clap.
