I wanted a small, fun weekend project, so I cooked this up. It generates interesting graphlike objects based on various options. There's no GUI, so you'll have to use the keyboard to toggle the options, but I tried to make things relatively easy to understand.

If you just want a quick look, then click in the applet window and tap the space bar a few times. If you're feeling adventurous, hit C and tap the space bar again to see a different coloring method. The options are explained below the applet.

Simple but fun, thanks for sharing. It'd be cool if the "almost-fractals" extended much farther, for example 30 branches instead of 4 or 5.

I've made some changes. Figures can now be huge, as branches are now based on random numbers instead of fixed rates of decrease. Also, it should be faster now.

If you download the source and flip the isApplet boolean, you can save PDFs.
