Today I posted two new articles. First, I released Chaotica, a Mac OS X application to draw fractals using the Chaos Game. For more information follow the link. It’s amazing how with a few very simple rules and playing around with a few parameters you can create some very nice fractals. If you haven’t already, you should try it out. I’ve been thinking about some of the changes that would be great for future versions of Chaotica, like the ability to choose the exact positions of the vertices, or to use OpenGL to improve the performance. I’m not sure, if I’ll ever get to do this, but it’s definitely in my mind. The other article I posted comes from my old blog. It explains how to sort a list like the Finder does, I think that Cocoa programmers will find it very useful. There really isn’t much to say about this one, but if you’re interested feel free to use it, here’s the link.

I have another article planned to explain some aspects of the Chaos game, but I’m not sure of when it’ll be available. Hopefully, I’ll be able to finish it before friday, but if not, it’ll have to wait till I get back from visiting my sister in Canada.
