It's the Mandelbulb! What happens when you take the original fractal (The Mandelbrot Set) and extend it into 3D space. And how do you visualize it in Processing (Java) as a point cloud?

Featured Challenge:
#51 — A* Pathfinding Algorithm
In this multi-part coding challenge, I attempt an implementation of the A* Pathfinding Algorithm to find the optimal path between two points in a 2D grid.

The artist BeesandBombs makes amazing algorithmic looping GIFs! Here's my attempt to recreate one of my favorite GIFs in JavaScript with p5.js and the WEBGL renderer.
In this coding challenge, I follow up on the Earthquake Data Visualization challenge and create a 3D version in Processing(Java) using spherical coordinates. I also discuss some 3D vector math including the cross product.
In this 4th of July themed coding challenge, I build an HTML5 canvas fireworks simulation from scratch using the p5.js JavaScript library. I also show how to use Processing to create 3D Fireworks.
In this coding challenge, I create a sphere in Processing using spherical coordinates and triangle strips. This is the 3rd part of a multi-part series on superformulas, superellipses and supershapes.
Boing! Using some particles and some springs with the Toxiclibs physics library, I create a 3D cloth simulation in Processing. Toxiclibs can now be downloaded from Processing's library manager.
In this coding challenge, I'm building on top of the Space Colonization video and creating a 3D Fractal Tree, using the same algorithm, in Processing.
In the second part of this coding challenge, using Processing, I take the code from the 2D Solar System and turn it three-dimensional.
In part 3 of this coding challenge, using Processing, I add textures to the 3D objects created in part 2. The PShape class and createShape() functions are covered.
In this coding challenge, I attempt to code the Menger Sponge (fractals) using Processing.
