chaos-game # chaos-game
==========
Javascript implementation of chaos game - used for plotting fractals A Javascript web app that allows you to test the "Chaos game" algorithm that consists in a few steps :
1. take a n-vertices polygon (in the app, there is only regular polygons, but it is possible to use scalenous ones);
2. choose a random point (out or inside the polygon);
3. choose a random vertex;
4. take the middle of the segment vertex-point (other factors can also be used);
5. go to step 2. using the middle point.
This game was created by Michael Barnsley and was described in his book _Fractals everywhere_ in 1993. When using a triangle and a factor 1/2, you get the Sierpinski's triangle. Other fractal forms can also be plotted using other settings. Most common settings are present in the "Presets" section in the app.
