So, I was perusing the internet last night,

and I found this page, I think my search term was like,

and I found this page, it's from a website

called Code Golf that has a lot of different

I think the idea of the challenge is to write

the shortest amount of code to create this kind of effect.

I'm probably going to write the longest amount of code

is to try to make a snowflake pattern like this.

Now, if you read over this webpage, and there's a

few diff, this is an example that was made in Mathematica,

But the algorithm that's described here is, you can,

here that it's a Brownian tree on an integer lattice,

The idea is, if you just think about a number line,

and I were to start with a point back here,

and at some point I would have to tell it to stop.

is I would tell it to stop if it got to, like, over here.

The path, maybe this is the 0, 0 coordinate.

And I'm going to let that one do a random walk.

Now, it's going to stop also if it gets to

either past here, or if it touches another previous,

And this, by the way, is basically an algorithm called

I have done previously in a coding challenge.

You can, I'm mostly going to implement the exact same thing.

But you can see you'll get this branching pattern.

and everything kind of branches out from there.

And we could use a recursive tree structure.

I'm not, no expert on the actual science of snowflakes,

but if you've looked at most snowflakes' designs,

then what I could do is I could take this,

and then rotate it also around six times,

and I think, I'm pretty sure, that's what that is happening

in that animation that I showed in the beginning.

So this is what I'm going to attempt to do.

and size, and rendering that you could do

what you would do to make a kaleidoscope program I think.

which is a Java based programming environment.

This is, by the way, being recorded during a fundraiser.

You can go to processingfoundation.org/support

to make a donation to the non-profit Processing.

And I will also release a JavaScript version

to make this thing happen in the browser.

Alright, so the first thing that I want to do
