Other Programs to Explore

  • Fractal Machine. A site to make Koch curve and related fractals.  Instructions for how to use the program are here.  (I found the interface a bit non-intuitive, but once I figured it out it was fun.)
  • L-Systems Renderer.  I'm not going to cover the details of L-systems.  Nevertheless, this might be fun to play around with.
  • Fractal terrain generator.  A short bit of javascript that makes impressive landscapes.
  • Recursive Drawing. We won't go over this in the course, but I found this while searching around and it looks like it could be a very fun tool to explore and experiment with.

If you find other software that you think is good, please let me know and I'll post it here.  Thanks.
