The Gosper curve, named after Bill Gosper, also known as the Peano-Gosper Curve and the flowsnake (a spoonerism of snowflake), is a space-filling curve whose limit set is rep-7. It is a fractal curve similar in its construction to the dragon curve and the Hilbert curve .
18. Sept. 2020 · Sometime in the 1970s, Bill Gosper devised an algorithm for computing term by term with continued fractions. Gosper’s method takes some getting used to, but at the end of the day I’d argue it’s at least as intuitive than typical arithmetic-by-hand methods used on decimal expansions.
Other highlights include: Conway's Game of Life, a computer simulation written by John Horton Conway which became Bill Gosper 's focus in 1970. Revolt in 2100: Lee Felsenstein and Jude Milhon founded Community Memory, an offshoot of Resource One based in Berkeley, California.

Twubblesome Twelve. Twubblesome Twelve. ©2003 Bill Gosper. Object: Simply remove the cylinders from their receptacles and fit (easily, without forcing) all twelve, side by side into the central tray. Between its creation in July 2003 and the following December, only five solvers found the intended solution (or its mirror image), while two ...
