Fractals!

[Dach]

Well, on one of my random mind adventures through the various mathematical worlds, I happened to realize how I would make a fractal drawer in Graal. Why I didn't realize it earlier is beyond me, but nonetheless I made one. It's not much of a flashy script, nor it is all that user-friendly, but it's still fun.
controls;
f -> add another degree of fractals
d -> use the mouse to draw a different starting shape
leftmouse -> add node to the shape
rightmouse -> finish drawing

there is a large triangle as the default shape, so you can just hit f upon loading the level. But it's much more fun to draw your own.
note: hitting "f" too many time may cause undesirable results...

edit: razzafrazza, someone readd .nw and .graal back to the allowed file formats!

This is fun =D i made something like this when showpoly first came out but it was just a poly drawing script

Nice work man.

pretty good, I liked it =)

Makes me wish I was more advanced in math... heh. Fractals are taught in abstract algebra or?

I really don't recall ever learning about them in a class . But the math used to generate them in this script is really just some geometry/trig (more directly vector manipulation, but the concepts can be picked up in trig and geometry). I'd break down the method I used, but I'm lazy
this would be so much cooler if it replicated the actual polygon on each segment
