Challenges

The Dragon Curve fractal is created by repeatedly folding a strip of paper in half, then unfolding it to form a curve. In this challenge, I attempt to code an animation of the Dragon Curve forming with p5.js in JavaScript.

Take a trip back in time and let's learn all about GR (graphics) and HGR (high resolution graphics) in AppleSoft BASIC on a restored Apple II+ computer! Can we render a fractal tree?

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?

Let's celebrate PI Day by approximating the digits of Pi using a special location in the legendary Mandelbrot set fractal!

Snowflake Challenge #3! In this video, I draw the Koch Fractal Curve in Processing (Java).

In this coding challenge, I implement Omar Pol’s fractal toothpick sequence.

In this multi-part coding challenge, I visualize the "Chaos Game".

In part 1 of this coding challenge, I create a node.js Mastodon bot that posts images (fractal trees) generated with Processing code. In part 2, I revise the node.js Mastodon bot to post images (fractal trees) in response to user mentions.

Visualizing the Barnsley Fern fractal with Processing (Java)!

In this coding challenge, I explore the concept of recursion to create fractal patterns in JavaScript HTML5 canvas with the p5.js library.

In this coding challenge, I attempt to create a "Fractal Spirograph" with Processing (Java). The visuals are inspired by images and explanation on C. J. Chen’s blog.

In this coding challenge, I explore the generative algorithm "Diffusion-Limited Aggregation". The pattern is generated from random walkers clustering around a seed (or set of seed) point(s).

In this coding challenge, I program the Julia Set fractal in Processing (Java).

In this coding challenge, I program from scratch the Mandelbrot set with p5.js

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 this third installment of my series on algorithmic botany, I discuss L-systems and how they can be used to generate trees and other fractal patterns in p5.js.

In this coding challenge, I'm using the space colonization algorithm to make a tree generator. This is the 4th part of my algorithmic botany series.

In this coding challenge, I'll implement fractal trees with recursion in p5.js. This is the first part of a series on algorithmic botany.

More algorithmic botany! Another way to generate a fractal tree is to consider every part of the tree an object, so that we can apply forces and attributes to all the branches and leaves and more!

In this coding challenge, I attempt to code the Menger Sponge (fractals) using Processing.
