Fractal Fun: Tweet-a-Program Mandelbrot Code Challenge

[bernatep (Bernat Espigulé)]

This week Wolfram is celebrating Benoit Mandelbrot‘s birthday and his contributions to mathematics by holding a Tweet-a-Program challenge. In honor of Mandelbrot, tweet us your favorite fractal-themed lines of Wolfram Language code.

To give you some ideas, I’ve listed below my favorite examples of WL-generated fractals:

1. Fractal Self-Portrait, The Mandelbrot Set:

2. A Binary Fractal Hand:

3. A MandelTree:

4. Dalí’s Face of War: (For comparison with the next graphic.)

5. The WL Face of War:

6. A Cool Julia Set:

7. The Glynn Set Tree:

8. The Jurassic Park Fractal Dragon in 3D:

9. A Plane-Filling H-Fractal in 3D:

10. The GoldenRatio Icosahedron Fractal:

11. My Golden Fractal Tree Gasket:

Read about its discovery in Adventures into the Mathematical Forest of Fractal Trees.

12. A Five-Armed Spiral Galaxy:

13. The Koch Snowflake Tree:

14. A Binary Tree:

15. A Sierpinski Triangle Tree:

16. A Plane-Filling Tree:

17. And My Tetrahedron Sierpinski Tree:

I hope that these examples captured your imagination. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Beautiful. Well, but it would have been even more beautiful if the code were copyable… =/
