I read Mathematics Girl/Randomized Algorithm and thought that Pascal's triangle looks very interesting, so I drew it in Ruby.

It is calculated one step at a time. The value is calculated by adding the values in the previous row. (We are not asking for the number of combinations.)
All stages are described together. Each value is output with the vertical position of the ones place as the base point.
I reduced the display and tried to output 45 steps.
