Fractals is a web app for generating fractals via recursion for a set amount of iterations, and is run on Spring Framework in Java.
Currently the user may generate and play around with a 2D Fractal Tree or 2D Fractal Circles.
A FractalTree branches from a parent line segment into two child segments each iteration that change in scale depending on the scaling factor. Each iteration i generates 2i line segment nodes.
This Fractal Tree was created with 14 iterations, an angle of 60 degrees between child nodes, and a scaling factor of 0.77, meaning each child line segment is 77% as long as its parent.
FractalCircle generates a set number of child circle 'satellites' each iteration that intersect with the parent circle at a single point. Every iteration satellite radius changes proportionally to the scaling factor. With s satellites, each iteration i generates si circle satellites.
These Fractal Circles were generated with only 4 iterations, 10 satellites, and a scaling factor of 0.5, meaning each satellite has half the radius of its parent and thus a quarter of the area.
