In the interest of avoiding poor browsers having to load a 27MiB image (when unpacked), and poor mobile users burning 5¾MiB of data, and just in general being hard on your bandwidth and maybe that gitrepo, who knows... 200px like in the blog post: http://m8y.org/tmp/sgb.png (zoplfi, 37KiB) http://m8y.org/tmp/sgb.jpeg (mozjpeg, quality 70, 4½KiB) Thanks man.

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…
