The Mandelbrot Set
A port of the Mandelbrot set: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set
I coded a slow version of this in Game Maker a long time ago. I never colored it and it was very slow.

Find The Length of a Coastline - Programming - Part 1
About a week ago I wrote an article where I hypothesized that I could find the length of a coast-line using an algorithm based on a map or satellite image.
Spirographs
Inspired by this video I decided to make a good ole' spriograph program. It's true that I was playing around with these types of programs when I was like, 15...well to be fair I guess I started playing around with recursive for loops and writing vectors when I was like ... "8". But, I really didn't have a real understanding on what I was doing until my teen years after taking my first programming classes in junior high. Mr. Jones...Big guy.
Find The Length of a Coastline Hypothesis
So, I was watching a Numberfile video on YouTube about finding the length of the British coast line.
The end conclusion in the video was that mathematically, it was impossible.
In the comments another poster suggested that a physicist would simply lay down a string along the coast and stretch it out to measure it as a single line.
Well, this got me to thinking about how I might approach this as a programmer.
Find a Fibonacci Number using Javascript
Today I was watching this nifty video on Triponacci Numbers: https://youtu.be/e7SnRPubg-g and decided to better understand the math I would recreate his demonstrations using Javascript...(always helps me).
So here's my function
