In my collection of programs generating fractals this famous one cannot miss.
The Koch snowflake is generated by starting with an equilateral triangle. Every side of the triangle then gets cut into three equal pieces and the center one gets replaced with yet another equilateral triangle.
To get the perfect fractal, you would need to repeat this process infinitely many times.
More information on the snowflake can be found in this Wikipedia entry.

Last sunday I posted an animated gif to celebrate the Worldwide Pinhole Day. On that day I also took pinhole photographs. My favourite, ‘Red Tulip’ can also be found on the official Worldwide Pinhole Day’s website.
Other photographs I took include white flowers, the same tulip in another light and a yellow flower.

This is my version of a sliding puzzle.
A sliding puzzle is based on a number of tiles (15 in this case) which are scrambled.
The objective of the game then is to slide the tiles around and get back to the original image.
As an image I took a photo of an apple in front of a black background.For more information on sliding puzzles, check this Wikipedia entry.

Playing around with prime numbers, I created this simple factorization program.
The interesting thing about prime factors is that they are unique. There can only be one way to multiply prime numbers to get 𝑛 where 
and 
(excluding the commutative property).For example, 
and that is the only way to multiply prime numbers to get to 𝟦𝟤.
