Infinite is exactly right. it is a fractal. it repeats itself for towards infinite iterations, sort of like with CycloneFractal you can see in the More projects space of Cyclone103. ==> anyways fractals are cool. they are really just awesome.
Looking at your project, the speed is very good because it's a lot simpler. I think it could be made faster by using parallelism. i.e.: your "pen" sprite could be repeated and I think you'd need more "point" sprites too.
I was quite surprised when I discovered that 8 sprites redering my Mandelbrot images were 8x faster than one sprite doing the work. This is quite unlike most other programming languages.
Hmm my original reply comment has become lost - it's no longer visible.
Anyway, I said "40 maximum iterations".
I really worked at the code to make it speed-efficient. I also used Scratch's parallelism to speed things up, though the speed of a full-res render is still very slow IMHO. Well, that's Scratch.
I'm happy to discuss the ins and outs of my Mandelbrot project - but perhaps on my project page is a better place.
Yes it is! I also made a Mandelbrot, and tried to make interactive zooming like yours but failed miserably lol! (link to project) I made it so it slowly focuses in on the picture. What was the maximum iterations you allowed in yours?
The only reason I know anything about fractals is because my crazy math teacher made us do research on them. I understand that your feild has nothing to do with fractals but they still are a very cool. I think you will find the connection between seirpinski's triangle and pascal's triangle very interesting.
It suprises me that you are not familiar with sierpinskis triangle. You might also want to search for the connection between sierpinskis triangle and pascals triangle
I really like this project. In fact, I liked it so much that I made a modified version of it ((link to project) In my version, you can move the corners of the triangle, and you can adjust how far the pen moves on each step. Give it a try and see how the patterns change.
another problem is I scrapped it and deleted the file, so i would have to figure it out all over again. This one here, the gasket, was very easy. I am working on a hilbert curve as we speak
i found the dragon curve (fractal) was kind of hard to make in scratch, so I abandoned my attempts a while ago. do you think I should try again? if you do, do you know any good quick, simple formulas for it? the one i had required like an hour to draw only iteration number 7.
Download the 4 sprites and 5 scripts of "Chaos Game" and open it in Scratch
Project Notes
This is the Chaos game: a program used to form a Sierpinski Gasket. If you let it sit for a bit, the image will become much more clearly defined. This pattern is formed by 3 dots, in the shape of a triangle, and one pen. The pen goes halfway between two dots, and leaves a mark. It then points towards the next radom dot, and moves halfway. Eventually you get a Sierpinski Gasket!

It is, very clearly, though, a Sierpinski Gasket..mine didn't take too long and it was online! :D Only 5mins.

i gonna count how many tri-force like objects there are at 10:30
Yeah, I thought it would be a Tri-Force...LOL
I was viewing this for the 83rd time and realized that there were Like Infinate something triforces

I see... the Triforce!!!
no it is a sierpinski gasket it is a fractal.
cool !!!
that'z wuz up i like that pic coby a.k.a young savage
I love it again and again!
Thanks!!!!!!!
Whoa! Its the triforce!
check out my remix: (link to project)
My Toolbook program was like this one on the Chaos Game.
It's a Fractal, rather like my Mandelbrot Generator, which allows you to zoom: (link to project)

I used 16 since mine did not zoom, and it is very lo-res to begin with.
Yes it is! I also made a Mandelbrot, and tried to make interactive zooming like yours but failed miserably lol! (link to project) I made it so it slowly focuses in on the picture. What was the maximum iterations you allowed in yours?
(view all replies)Amazing! I love how the dot just looks like it is glitching all over, but it is acctually makeing a Sierpinski gasket!
cool..
Its a sierpinski gasket. I'm sorry about 30 minutes ago. I was under the stress of my math homework.
that replied 2 times lol, and I pressed the button once, sorry bout that!
If you want, I can post a link to a page where you can learn more about them

its ok lol :)
this is in that math gallery. um yeah it doesn't have anything to do with MATH
it is a fractal, which DOES relate to math. It is also derived using a purely mathematical equation.

ITS TAKES MORE THEN 5 HOURS [ TRUE ]
yup!
im new and don't know stuff, can u tell me how to download stuff
no problem! if u need more help, I can tell u how to get through the image file thing if it stops workin.
click download and follow the prompts
(view all replies)Nice Pen Tool Programming
thanks! it was pretty easy, if u know the methods used to create it in the first place. Try doing this on a piece of paper!
I've never heard of a triforce or a Sierpinski. I'll have to look into it.
lol a triforce is from a videogame, Sierpinski was a man who discovered this fractal.
it looks like the triforce from The legend of zelda
yes, it does, even though it has nothing to do with the Legend of Zelda
click here for awesome interactive buddy game! (link to project)
It's cool.
click on my name for cool projects!
Nice. I like how the complex pattern emerges slowly out of the randomness.
cool
awesome!
nice one love it
I let it sit for an hour and it still wsn't done painting.
of course not its going to take ages for it to finish that...it goes on forever
(view all replies)looks like the triforce
its awesome! this is one of my best projects. i hope u like it! (link to project)
i see
Chaos game is the method of creating a Sierpinski Gasket.
what r u ment to do??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just watch. its not really a game
kewl
Very cool! I'll have to look this Sierpinski person up!

You know when mres likes it. You've got a REALLY good project.
Just wondering: how's this a game?
its not, the method of drawing is called a game because like a game, it can be random (chaotic)
(view all replies)GNARLY!
Good work Hope you don't mind if I add it to some gallerys
its ok i dont mind! thanks!
lol ITS A TRIFORCE!!!! ZOMG!!! anyway sierpinski would have been proud.
cool!
wow, nice
interesting.
awsome
its a triforce in a triforce in a triforce!lol
yeah
way 2 go!!
lol
hey geckofreak. i know what a fratical is, im just SAYING it looks like the triforce. look on google images. i was just making a connection!
Well i think its the best EVER!
he was talkin bout other ppl and u, a lot of people said the same thing!
yea i put it on, started watching TV, and then came back an hour later.
lol does it look cool? i left it on for 7 hours, and there were 3 pixels left to fill in!
cool
Very awsome looking.
come on all mos done
Very good sierpinski gasket
(view all replies)another problem is I scrapped it and deleted the file, so i would have to figure it out all over again. This one here, the gasket, was very easy. I am working on a hilbert curve as we speak

(view all replies)lol the only problem here is that it is pixels so it isn't infinite. My other favorite fractal is a Hilbert Curve. What is your favorite?
(view all replies)lol. I can see why they think it is though!
(view all replies)These people have no clue what a fratcal is if they are saying triforce.
Amen brother/ sister. Amen
(view all replies)ITS A TRIFORCE!!!!!!
WOW!!!!!!
hey it does look like triforces
eh yea i will admit it does :)
