Recursive Fractal Inkspots

Hi, this is the first piece I've put up for show here, its an applet that makes random fractals from an array of 4 dots. Once you have a fractal, you can twist and explode it.
...

Full instructions are on the page;

http://www.graphicfilth.com/inkspots/index.html

I'm thinking of expanding it into a virtual world of fractal animals (based on the fact that they look quite organic when twisting) - then putting a unique name to each fractal and printing it on my business cards. Then, when I give someone a card, they can go online and adopt their fractal animal.
Good idea you think?

there's a couple of other applets I've made on my site that you can have a look at if you're interested.

Feedback would be appreciated.

Wow, the fadey- feeling on this applet is really cool!

*will bother to be inspired by the code later*

neat stuff, I really really like twirling and then exploding. Seriously great.


And on the fractal animal thing, I have a vision of a really random animal with contorted 4 legs and a bobbling head, like a elephant or a flamingo or something... festive animals... neat!

I like it, and impressed at how fast it runs here on my crappy work computer.  Very nice.
