Thanks, HSE, for working with MathArt! This is, of course, a lot easier to use than my original version.
I made a dynamic version called "MathMovie" a while ago. It uses the mouse to move around the picture, and zooms in with the wheel. It has combo boxes and hot keys for most of the inputs. Updates in real time. So, when you zoom, or change the palette, it happens instantly. Goes very fast on my I5 and is satisfactory on A6. In "movie" mode the picture changes by itself, you can just sit back and watch it go.
It's quite addictive. You can play with it for hours. When you see a BMP you're happy with you can save it. I had a portfolio of the pictures printed and have exhibited them at local art shows. Everyone likes them (hundreds of people). But I made few sales, seems there's no real market for it. If they were hand-drawn instead of computer generated they would sell very well.
There's also a different MathMovie with similar algorithms, makes even cooler pictures. Go to
consciousparticles.com/gallery.html for three pages of these images. There are many more where those came from! "Conscious particles", BTW, was the inspiration for a lot of this work.
I was never really happy with these programs. A lot of the code is horrible hack job. I was embarrassed to post it. Unfortunately my health went south a year ago and it's unlikely I'll ever get around to cleaning up these programs.
I'd be happy to dump all them on you, or anyone who wants them.
Here's something you don't know about old mathematicians: nothing makes them happier than younger people caring about their work! So thanks for caring about MathArt.
