Featured Challenge: #174 — AppleSoft Basic Fractal Tree
Take a trip back in time and let's learn all about GR (graphics) and HGR (high resolution graphics) in AppleSoft BASIC on a restored Apple II+ computer! Can we render a fractal tree?
It's the Mandelbulb! What happens when you take the original fractal (The Mandelbrot Set) and extend it into 3D space. And how do you visualize it in Processing (Java) as a point cloud?
More algorithmic botany! Another way to generate a fractal tree is to consider every part of the tree an object, so that we can apply forces and attributes to all the branches and leaves and more!
