The first thing that springs to mind after watching this is using the algorithm as a race circuit generator.

As a procedural generator enthusiast I am surprised I had forgotten about such corners of the math universe.

With old age I have learned and accepted that there are things that I will never really learn or fully compute.

Awesome video.

Thanks James, I noted some blitz3d source on a french site but hadn't seen your contribution. Will test tonight.

Just added link to original archive, looks/sounds WAY cooler with media!

EDIT: RRRRRRRGGGGHHH!! Re-upped archive/updated links, had weird resource typos in source -- edit j's out of "winjd" and "pojint" if already downloaded!

hERE IS A CHAOS THEORY OF MINE, COMPUTERS ARE NOT COMPLETELY RANDOM, SO THE MATH IT GENERATES WONT BE EITHER , LIKE THE IMAGES YOU SEE OF THE CHAOS THEORY,

sorry keys on caps.

Out of the the box they aren't, but there are a ton of places that will sell you a hardware random number generator that depends on external/environmental sources to generate true random numbers, e.g.:

xisior, I can see what your saying, but anything powered by electric has a frequency that it operates on, so all output is tainted. you need something like an analogue instruament like a barometer . even if some of those things generated a true random number analogue would not be fast enough to use in a chaos theory type equation what does lots of math. the chaos theory is really a view of a cpu repeating itself

Btw: A whlie back, I put a chaos attractor program in the code archives for anyone interested.

We studied these and other force fields arising from ordinary differential equations back at university in the mid 90s....you can get some nice patterns from some simple looking equations...and in fact depending on where you start in the field you can get entirely different looking patterns.
