Chaos Theory

This is just a funny but pointless demo I made. By using sprites as a particle system and creating these shapes with a relatively simple algorithm. BTW the technical name is 'strange attractor'.




Before I found the right speed/timestep ratio for stability, the attractor would break down quickly to infinity. Or converge to zero giving interesting results:

Funky!

I think once I managed to make a rotating sphere of bubbles (like the first or second level in Dark Forces)... But this is cooler

are you aware of mathlib

Or I could make an openGL app, but that would be kind of besides the point.

Here are some more, same algorithm, different parameters (bound to health, ammo etc) and a beam trace:

I coded a qc mandelbrot set once, but got bored debugging it.
