Math is Spooky
Now that AS3 is finally available on Adobe labs for mactel, I pulled it down and wrote a tool that lets me explore the mandelbrot set "buddhabrot"-style, as created by Melinda Green and popularized by Jared Tarbell.
The results are pretty nice so far, though performance is lagging behind the java based implementations out there.
While zooming around the data, I ran across some scary results - this one looks a bit like a back xray.
And some other scary characters...
Just now starting to experiment with multi-channel results, will post an interactive version once I've dialed in the performance a bit.
