ikeda attractor sketchbook

description:

simple processing experiment based on the algorhythm for the ikeda attractor found in Clifford A. Pickover's Computers and the Imagination.

moving the mouse introduces variations in a few key parameters. achieved a pleasing "charcoal drawing" look by using a cumulative colour function, whereby each iterated point's colour is based on the current colour of the computed pixel position. click to reset the drawing board and add further randomisation.
