i made a turtle program to make other turtles :3

here is a swarm being formed:
Spoiler
here is a menacing wall of turtles, ready to attack:
Spoiler
here is the aftermath (and now currently a lab)
Spoiler
le gold computer is running a color version of my disk player :3 (will upload soon)

insparation was from cruor and his wool LCD
(i just had to make a auto swarm gen that has -20000% work required to use)

Needs more replicators.

i suggest developing miners/crafters that supply the turtle swarm for infite turtlez. :o/>

Why does the original swarm have 8*8 turtles in the screenshot, yet the aftermath screenshot is a 7*8 hole? o.O

that was my beta test, one of my divisions was one off :s
i use single lines full of math occasionally because its easier
an example is this line here:


panel[math.ceil(x/128)+math.max((math.ceil(y/128)*4)-4,0)]("setColorRGB",r,g,b,((x-1)%128)+1,((y-1)%128)+1)
wich finds the exact monitor and x y of that monitor, used in this post:

made a fractal generator :3

time to expand to 1024*1024 screens
its basically the same with this program

:o/> :o/> :o/> What is that on? not a computer screen is it? o.O

Btw I think calling it a Mandelbrot generator would be a more adequate description, as it looks like a zoomed in portion of a Mandelbrot set. Unless of course this generator can generate other fractal patterns such as a Julia set, or a fractal flame…….. can it do a fractal flame?! if so that would be awesome!!!

its on an array of 16 128x128 CCLights
yea, its a zoomed in portion of le mandlebrot
thats the only fractal i know how to do now, i can try to make something else

Ahhh CClights. knew it didn't look AT ALL right for a monitor. lol.

making a fractal flame would be awesome :P/>
