Instructions

Flag. Try different angles. Adjust size, X Y, & orientation, so your curve fits. Default settings (angle 90°) = "Dragon Curve" (looks a bit like elephant too). Angle 83° with size 47, x start -128, y start 68 orientation 42° is what I call a "Poodle Curve." Angle 79, size 27, orientation 24, x -128 y 83.

Description

Pattern repeats across all scale from small to large. My main code is simple & recursive, but with pauses and resizing to slow down and enlarge early phases. Adds creativity to "Dragon Fractal" by NASA physicists Heighway, Banks, & Harter. Popularized in a 1967 Scientific American article. Added changeable angle so you can get different curves.
