Sierpinski Playground

Chaos Game

Watch the Sierpinski triangle (and other fractals) emerge from the chaos game algorithm:

• Start with a random point
• Pick a random vertex
• Move halfway (or by jump ratio) toward it
• Plot a point and repeat

Controls:

• Vertices - Number of polygon corners (3-8)
• Jump - Distance to move toward vertex (0.3-0.7)
• Speed - Points per frame

Presets:

• Sierpinski - Classic triangle (3 vertices, 0.5 jump)
• Square - 4 vertices, 0.5 jump (fills the square)
• Pentagon - 5 vertices, 0.618 jump (golden ratio)
• Vicsek - 5 vertices in + pattern, 0.33 jump

Keyboard:

• Space - Play/Pause
• C - Clear
• R - Reroll vertices
• F - Fullscreen
• 1-6 - Quick vertex count
