Fractals and Context Free Art

During lecture on Thursday the prof made a reference to fractals. The topic at the time was recursion in programming and suddenly I was reminded of this amazing program called context free! I have fond memories of this open source project from high school, as well as slime ball... and that silly little rocket game in the Turing we would play every time the teacher left the room. But enough remenising, you really can make some pretty amazing fractals, as well as some cool images with this program. So during dinner between bites of chef boyarde ravioli I looked it up and wouldn't you know, the project is still alive and kicking! It's a pretty simple language to pick up and i'm sure in the hands of some of my fellow class mates marvels could happen.

For those of you who are not sure what exactly a fractal is, they are a pattern of geometric shapes that can be broken down into identical or similar parts that resemble the parts as a whole.

This is somthing special guys! Show me what you've got!

Have great weekend everyone ^_^
