Instructions

Ant shrinks to explore fractal pattern. Try turbowarp: https://turbowarp.org/1001581471/fullscreen?hqpen and set pixel size to 1 Click spot you want to center and zoom in on. Ant is right there with you, shrinking. Click Zoom button. Also can move with arrow keys, and can zoom out by pressing spacebar or zoom in with i key. Zoom helps show self-similar pattern (fractal).

Description

As ant gets smaller, it finds the same pattern at smaller and smaller scales. The pattern repeating smaller and smaller means its a fractal. Zooming-in let's you see the pattern and the ant (so both seem larger again). Note: It's a "Mandelbrot" Fractal arising from repeating a simple rule (with Ant it's called m-ANT-elbrot). The essential algorithm is very simple. Ant modeled & animated in Blender.
