De Jong Attractor visualization

De Jong Attractor visualization launched on June 1, 2015 with 15 votes, #1,407 of 3,954 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

De Jong Attractor visualization is a tool for exploring mathematical fractals through interactive visualization. It generates and displays the De Jong attractor, a complex pattern created by iterating nonlinear equations. The tool is for mathematics enthusiasts and those interested in visualizing abstract mathematical concepts. Users can adjust parameters to see how the attractor's shape changes in real time.

    I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…
