Fractals
Nature of Code Video #8
These video lessons accompany Chapter 8 (Fractals) from The Nature of Code book.
- #8.1
Fractals
11 Aug 2015This video introduces Fractals.
- #8.2
Fractal Recursion
11 Aug 2015This video looks at how to write functions in Processing that call themselves (recursion) for the purpose of drawing fractals.
- #8.3
Fractal Recursion with ArrayList of Objects (Koch Curve)
11 Aug 2015This video looks at how to use an ArrayList to store the parts of a fractal as separate objects. This allows a fractal to experience physics. The Koch curve is used as a demonstration.
- #8.4
Recursion with Transformations
11 Aug 2015This video looks at what happens when you need to translate() and rotate() in a recursive function. The class “branching tree” fractal is demonstrated.
- #8.5
L Systems
11 Aug 2015This video covers the basics of L-System algorithms and how they can be applied to “turtle graphics” drawing in Processing.
