Strange attractors in JavaScript
Over ten years ago I made a strange attractor renderer in Java (and P55). Back then Java applets were still the only way to get raw computing power to the client-side of the web. A strange attractor is not complicated, but because it is deterministic it needs a few billion iterations for a proper result. September last year Chrome dropped support for Java applets. Since JavaScript has come a long way I thought I’d try a remake in Nodejs. I compared a rough to a client-side implementation and found the speed difference negligible enough to bring the entire implementation to client-side JavaScript.
Contrary to the old Java applet this JavaScript version can burp out animated gifs and webm videos.
