Reply to this commentCan it be optimized to run faster?
Is there any way to add v-sync?
Reply to this commentIf it went any faster it would fly by you. :P

Reply to this commentThis is a little wierd. I might be doing it wrong, but aren't fractals ever-expanding patterns? I don't see any pattern. Second off, it'd be a lot better if the branches started rendering before you get to a certain point (like, start rendering as soon as you see it, and as you go farther in, it finishes rendering), it'd be a lot smoother... if you understand what I mean. Also a variable zoom speed would be useful. Cool stuff, good job man.
Reply to this commentWe beat the game while stoned, you guys suck.
Check the photo:

Reply to this commentI can do that too, all I just have to do is print screen it, then just simply rub out the sub-branches and voila, I beat the game too. Those guys don't suck. It was just a simple edit. I could see the microsoft paint too.
Reply to this commentmspaint could be used to save the screenshot, though

Reply to this commentCould you turn this into a stylized arbitrary L-System generator? that would be pretty cool.
Reply to this commentCould you turn this into an egg? That would be pretty cool.
Reply to this commentNO : Still a bunch of HUMPS
Why do you have to mock someone who obviously knows way more about computers than you just because you feel the real world isn't fun enough. If you are going to troll get out of here.
Well said
Could you turn this into a rock? That would be pretty cool.
Works beautifully in Opera 10.5 - would be nice if you could update the little message at the beginning to incorporate opera.

Reply to this commentthis is fractal geometry, closely related to chaos theory.

Reply to this commentThank you ! I love Chrome. I am a mac user most of the time. Chrome is Faster than any Browser that I have use in the past. Please make a Mac version soon. Thanks again.
Reply to this commentYou can get one at http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=mac. It's a developer version, but it looks like it's now up to speed, and looks the same as the beta. It will auto-update, so sometimes you will see a .dmg mount at login, which is Chrome updating. I use it, and it works fine. Even themes work!
Reply to this commentIs there a linux version? I am hooked and go into withdrawals when I go to my linux machine.
Yes, pretty please to making a mac version; and for you other exceptional human beings designing/writing for Chrome, a very big pretty please to all of you to making mac-compatible versions of your experiments. Cheers!
Reply to this commentthis would so rule if synced with audio :D
Reply to this commentLovely! What a nice idea. I love the graphics of the trees.
Reply to this commentNossa muito legal pena que fiquei com dor de cabeça ao ver isso

Reply to this commentWow. This is beautiful. Actually quite inspirational as well.
It makes me want to create music.
Reply to this commentIt works better for me in Opera 10b2 then FF3.51 :)
Reply to this commentSo cool! Canopy looks like cancer to me!
Reply to this commentI'm in love with this! Bravo!
Reply to this commentThis program is awesome and should be made a screensaver, because I would stare at it forever.
Reply to this commentThis would be an awesome screensaver!
Reply to this commentWorks in Firefox 3.x on a good computer.
Reply to this commentIt re-centers and starts growing wherever you click. Nice.
Reply to this commentWhat does mutate do?
Reply to this commentHey. Mutuate causes the tree to change styles over time. It will get more or less branches, curlier or straighter, and more and less complex.
Reply to this commentYou should add some poetry to this... with some music... let me know if you'd like help with verse. This is really good!
Reply to this commentThis is truly really good! When I was in second grade, we had to do a project by drawing a tree without leaves. This was a challenge for me because I felt, what if this branch has its own branches and that one have even more branches, and that it could go on forever
Reply to this commentWhoa. I could watch that all day.
Reply to this commentThis is so good I almost don't enjoy it thinking about "where do we go from here". Well done.
Reply to this commentI could just sit and watch it.
Reply to this commentAmazing! I love it.
Reply to this commentTHIS TAKES THE GOLD! awesome "triippy" tree maker... Google Chrome... "mesmerizing" is right... sweet
Reply to this commentVastly cool in that way only fractals can be -
Reply to this commentPretty smooth in Firefox 3.6a1pre. It would be nice if you could choose to zoom out.
Reply to this commentDamn these are awesome! I've seen some awesome work already years ago, but to even consider this kind of stuff outside demoscene ...

Reply to this commentit's really cool. but don't like how you can zoom in...BUT you CAN'T zoom out. you should be able to zoom out 2. that would make it perfect
Reply to this commentif you did that you would consume lots of memory the beauty is not having to store the image. Just display it.
Reply to this commentExcellent work...
Reply to this commentNice , very fast in chrome beta
Reply to this commentvery cool !
Reply to this commentworks on firefox 3.0.7 - fabbo. Tim Burton esque.
Reply to this commentMy wife thinks it needs more bugs - of the insect kind.
Reply to this commentNice. Works on Opera, too.
Reply to this commentI think it goes faster on my Safari 4/Mac from the youtube video :) Would love to be able to test in on Chrome/Mac though when it comes
Other than that, the visual result is amazing!
Reply to this commentit goes faster in my chrome 1.0 then in the youtube video.
