Title: The Fractolite's Life Post by: tobiles on June 12, 2012, 04:39:38 AM The Fractolite's Life Waiting for a fractal to render can be invigorating, excruciating … The anticipation … the expectations … the realization … the modification, and then reiteration. Exploring fractals is a fractal experience, with ideas spiraling in, branching out in every direction, but you have to pick one … for now. And then wait, again, deliciously. Around every corner, deep in every niche lies a new discovery. Every tweak, every poke, every nudge is a learning experience, a new canyon to explore, a new dance of shapes and colors to take in. It's virtual space flight, without the environmental dangers, without scary aliens. It's a multidimensional voyage from your office chair. There is an emotional aspect, an adrenaline boost as the next step emerges, and we're addicts to more of that, the next boost, another new discovery. It's a video game without rules. You lose when you break the program, so save your work. And don't get too lost ... Iterate with gusto. |
