I've been busy making something based on fractals. Basically it repeats an object. In this case (see url). The object repeats itself twice, each under its own angle and a little bit smaller. These two pieces repeat themselves twice with the same angle according to their own axis (I hope it's a bit understandable, English isn't my mother's tongue). Afterwards i've put in some very slight random functions just to make sure I don't get the same result twice. This I've done this with ActionScript in Flash, because it is the only script language I understand enough to make such things.

The result is a tree by the way. Flash crashes once you cross the borderline of about 2000 duplicated objects, so I try not to cross that border.

Would it be possible to make a similar script with java? Say you take an object, for instance a rectangle and make it repeat itself two or three times under different angles. These repeat themselves three times... and so on. Eventually creating some bizar object or even a tree :) !! I'm sure once you have the basic code you would be able to get wonderful results. Put in the positions where the objects must repeat, the amount of repetitions, ...
