Fractals !

[Vista]

I just saw this cool website. I think some of the pictures there just look great. Enjoy !

yeah this is a pretty cool site! thanks for the link! fractals look cool!

Those are too cool, Vista. Now I am going to obsess over trying to make some like that

Isnt it a form of Maths?

Im sure that you make them by putting in a certain equation into a graph and it starts spinning madly!
A quick Google search brings me to:

Looks pretty complicated, and cool

Nerdy Explanation:

They use complex numbers; in particular, to make one, just take the complex number Z0 and continually square it, this increases to infinity by ever smaller amounts, causing the fractals that seem to diminish to nothing. Well, thats a VERY basic explanation anyway!

Nice one! actually makes sense
Just because i dont do AS Level Maths and you do!
What is the Complicates explanation then? I want an equation to type into that graph making program on my phone so that it curves like a fractal!

One nice thing about the program I use is that you don't have to use math to manipulate the flames. That is what makes the program so good

well done! that website has some real cool backgrounds, used quite a few already

Only because your program does the maths for you; cheating really

Yes, guilty as charged. IMHO, art should not tax the brain.

I'm starting to write a program which makes fractals, in Java 2. I did think of getting a program to do it, but then I thought that making my own would be more cool, as then it'd be me making them from start to finish.
