ezFractal - Strange Attractors App

About

Generate strange attractor fractals.  Explore them at different qualities and in different color schemes.  Listen to how the fractal sounds when mapped to music using different musical scales.

V1.3 adds some more variation through different equation types. Try pasting the following into the draw/redraw this attractor field:

0.2;0.35;0.29;0.35;0.68;-0.47;1.02;0.88;-1.03;-0.51;0.01;-0.81;0.52;-0.28;0.62;0.66;0.2;-0.05;-0.04;0.09;0.7;-0.91;0.23;-0.99;0.76;0.31;0.9;0.36;0.2;0.79;-0.9;0.9

HINTS:
- IF IT GETS STUCK, JUST REFRESH THE PAGE.
- When you find a nice one, add it to your list of favorites so you can view/listen to it again at a later date.
- Click on the fractal image to open just the image in a new tab for printing/saving.

Technical details:
I based this on the work of Julien C. Sprott detailed in his book called Strange Attractors: Creating Patterns in Chaos.  This web app takes the 3D quadratic program, ports it to javascript and then uses the HTML5 canvas object to plot/render the fractal.
Book info is here: http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/SA.HTM. As of version 1.3, I have added some more complex equations as well as the quadratic to give more variation.

All processing is done on your local computer to search for a fractal and then iterate it.  If you have an older or slower machine, each fractal could take a long time to generate; so use the low to medium quality settings.
