Invader Fractal

The Gallery of Computation describes invaders as, "friendly expressions of numerical magnitude. Using only 15 bits, a mirror, and a little patience, we can render 32,768 unique instances of them. Arrangement of invaders is based on a recursive fractal method. Given a region, an invader is placed within a random percentage of it. The process is then repeated for the remaining spaces until the regions become indistinguishably small."
Levitated.net contains visual poetry and science fun narrated in an object oriented graphic environment. The sketches and applications generated as a byproduct of research are provided online as open source Flash modules.
