Koch Snowflake Sagasnowflake

Fractal Geometry

About the saga...

Another classic recursive process here.

Using a simple graph of a segment, in a recursive feedback loop, we can generate a picture of a geometric snowflake with very little code.

What a 'cool' way of deomonstrating recursion using a 'flaky' process!

Current Development Stages:

Stage 3: Recursion Flakiness! - Late January 2020

Our recursion is humming along and producing a 'flake' at various levels.


Stage 2: Recursive Setup - Late January 2020

Recursion is that process where a function calls itself.

In this stage, we set that scenario up.


Stage 1: The Base Triangle - Late January 2020

This stage forms 3 segments that will provide the base of our snowflake.

Notice the nifty use of the rotate function, allowing us to avoid any nasty trigonometry.
