The Chaos Game: an experiment about fractals, recursivity and creative coding
Tweet Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty (Bertrand Russell) You have a pentagon defined by its five vertex. Now, follow these steps: Step 0: take a point inside the pentagon (it can be its center if you want to do it easy).

Neighborhoods: Experimenting with Cyclic Cellular Automata
Tweet On candy stripe legs the Spiderman comes, softly through the shadow of the evening sun (Lullaby, The Cure) Cellular automata are an inmense source of artistical images.
