Fract-A-Castle

**UPDATE 11/8/15**: Customiser's script rendering time limits of around 5 seconds are greatly inhibiting mould and fractal generation. As a result I have uploaded sample STLs instead of running through Customiser and I therefore recommend running the .scad file locally with openSCAD.

Simply download openSCAD (http://www.openscad.org/downloads.html), load the .scad file and press F6 to render models with any variables you like.


Fract-A-Castle is a completely customizable generator of sandcastle moulds described by 2D and 3D Julia set fractal patterns. It has never been easer to amaze onlookers with the beauty of mathematics.

**The Idea**

Fractals are perhaps one of the most strikingly beautiful areas of mathematics. Julia set fractal patterns like those in Fract-A-Castle may be generated from quadratic iterations. These iterations, such as z → z^2 + c, describe a process: take a complex number, square it, and add a constant complex number c. Repeating this process iterativ
