Description

Generate strange attractor fractals. Explore them at different qualities and in different color schemes. Listen to how the fractal sounds when mapped to music using different musical scales.

V1.3 adds some more variation through different equation types. Try pasting the following into the draw/redraw this attractor field:

0.2;0.35;0.29;0.35;0.68;-0.47;1.02;0.88;-1.03;-0.51;0.01;-0.81;0.52;-0.28;0.62;0.66;0.2;-0.05;-0.04;0.09;0.7;-0.91;0.23;-0.99;0.76;0.31;0.9;0.36;0.2;0.79;-0.9;0.9

HINTS:
- IF IT GETS STUCK, JUST REFRESH THE PAGE.
- When you find a nice one, add it to your list of favorites so you can view/listen to it again at a later date.
- Click on the fractal image to open just the image in a new tab for printing/saving.

Technical details:
I based this on the work of Julien C. Sprott detailed in his book called Strange Attractors: Creating Patterns in Chaos. This web app takes the 3D quadratic program, ports it to javascript and then uses the HTML5 canvas object to plot/render the fractal.
Book info is here: http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/SA.HTM. As of version 1.3, I have added some more complex equations as well as the quadratic to give more variation.

All processing is done on your local computer to search for a fractal and then iterate it. If you have an older or slower machine, each fractal could take a long time to generate; so use the low to medium quality settings.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
