A (cool?) collection of fractals

Welcome to fractally!

Fractally aims to house a collection of cool-looking fractals generated using code. Currently, the work is done in p5.js and will be so for the near future. Use the index below to browse to different fractal generators.

(P.S. - If you're viewing this on a mobile, landscape orientations work better! So turn on auto-rotate if this is the case, and refresh the browser!)

• Custom polygonal fractals (ft. The Chaos Game) :

  Employs the 'Chaos Game' algorithm. Pin your own points on the canvas, play with the settings and see a fractal in the making! Since these fractals are generated by random numbers, it might take time to generate one.

fractally's Issues

fractalpoly sketch fails to load for sides > 3

The fractalpoly.html file fails to load most of the time for sides > 3. With the setting sides = 3, the HTML loads successfully each time.
The reason for this seems to be an infinite while loop at line 67 in fractalpoly/sketch.js of commit 333ffff. Whereas at instances this loop runs only a few times, in other cases it keep running forever (even ~1M times!) without being able to find a suitable random number.
This is verified by checking output of console.log("Here1") (line 27) in the Developer Console of both Chrome (v80.0.3987.132, Windows 64-bit) and Firefox (v73.0.1, Ubuntu 18.04.10 LTS).
