This Java applet is an implementation (version 0.2) of the chaos game. This applet is written by Trevor Stone. Read the source code.
To play the chaos game, draw a random point inside a regular polygon with n sides. Select a random vertex. Draw a point a fraction r of the way from the previous point to the selected vertex. Iterated many times, this produces a fractal for many values of n and r. Some non-fractal configurations are nonetheless interesting with one or more color schemes.
