Creating fractal software is a fun and easy introduction to coding. Because fractals are made by repeating simple processes, it is actually quite easy to create simple programs that make dazzling fractal patterns.
Julia and Maya – 2 interns at the Fractal Foundation – recently began learning to code fractals. They are building a tutorial to inspire others to learn to code! The journey begins below, and they will continue exploring and sharing their discoveries.
The code explorations below are made in the excellent visual programming language, Processing.
