Dynamic Snowflake

The final version of the Koch Snowflake. Click to zoom in on the closest point, hold 'i' and 'o' to zoom in or out towards the center, use the arrows keys to move the snowflake, and hit 'r' to start over.


To deal with memory issues for huge numbers of points, it only draws down to the level of 2px-long edges. Thus, only so many pixels are visible at a given time. Additionally, the zoom factor has an upper limit so that it does not increase indefinitely (but you can still keep zooming).
