The instructions are more useful. If you don&#x27;t already know how to calculate the Mandelbrot set, &quot;Draw a Mandelbrot set!&quot; is meaningless to you and presumes knowledge you don&#x27;t have. It also doesn&#x27;t specify how to color it; maybe you end up coloring it black if it diverges instead!<p>Addendum: The artist in the article specified the algorithm (“Within a circle draw 10,000 straight black lines and 10,000 black not straight lines. All lines are randomly spaced and equally distributed.”) and not the result (&quot;Somehow, incredibly... an infinite field of stars emerges&quot;). So I described another algorithm that produces an incredible, unexpected result- one that we use silicon to calculate rather than people.<p>Further addendum: the Chaos Game is an interesting way to approximate a fractal that you can implement with pencil, paper, ruler, and lots of time on your hands:<p>1. Draw three points. Best results if they&#x27;re roughly the vertices of an equilateral triangle.<p>2. Pick a point at random inside the notional triangle and mark it<p>3. Pick one of the vertices at random and mark the midpoint between your chosen point and that vertex<p>4. That midpoint is your new chosen point. Return to 3, rinse and repeat.
