made this so i can more easily explain why full-disc satellite imagery looks kinda weird (e.g. you can only see about 45% of the surface from GEO)

maybe someone else has a use for it

mandelbrot fractal rendering test
(cpu-melting)

#mandelbrot #fractal
a greyscale rendering of a small portion of the Mandelbrot set, with the luminosity of each pixel proportional to the number of iterations performed before determining if the pixel is outside the set. a color rendering of a small portion of the Mandelbrot set, with the hue of each pixel proportional to the number of iterations performed to verify the pixel is outside the set.

recursive polygon transformations
based on the work of @maxhalford.bsky.social
A regular pentagon with recursively inscribed regular pentagons, offset by a fixed angular displacement each iteration. Each successive inscribed pentagon has a shorter side length than the previous iteration. The vertices of each inscribed pentagon lie upon the line segments that constitute the previous iteration.
