Sierpinski's Triangle

Welcome to the new Sierpinski's triangle page. This project is intended to be a random collection of programs/applets that generate Sierpinsk's triangle, mat, and similar variations. It's not meant to be a general talk about fractals, however.

It also serves as a introduction to many different programming environments/utilities. Think of it as a slightly more useful "Hello World" application. Current formats:

wxSierpinski: A full blown application utilizing wxWidgets and OpenGL. Able to be compiled and executed on Linux and Windows.
DOS: Written in pure assembly, with good ole' DEBUG. Binary is only 154 bytes!
Java: Simple Java program which can run as either an applet or application.

You can Download binaries from SourceForge.

wxSierpinski

Purpose

The goal of this version is to demonstrate as full and complete of an application as possible. This includes:

Clean coding style
Multiple architecture support
Multi-targeted build process
Cross platform GUI development
Object Oriented style of C library development
Inline source documentation
OpenGL application development

DOS

Here was an attempt to make the smallest x86 assembly version of a Sierpinski's Triangle generator. Some interesting notes:

It's only 154 bytes!
I use the random method of choosing vertices. However, I manage to avoid using a random number generator by simply reading from program memory
The code isn't super-optimized. I was still intending it to be a bit readable
This only works in 320x200 VGA mode. (Shouldn't be a problem these days).

Onto the code:

Description	Source	Binary
Simple generator	s.asm	s.com
Simple generator with rainbow patterns	s_col.asm	s_col.com
Some psychadelic colors	s_cool.asm	s_cool.com

To compile, do this to generate the appropriate .COM file:

    debug < s.asm

Java

A simple java applet that makes use of Swing. You can find the source at https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sierpinski/trunk/java/.

There's also an old version, but the source has long since been lost.

There is no warranty of any kind associated with these programs. They aren't even guaranteed to work (just like commercial programs, yay!).
