In a pre-previous post called “Think Inc”, I looked at the fractals created by a point first jumping halfway towards the vertex of a square, then using a set of increments to decide which vertex to jump towards next. For example, if the inc-set was [0, 1, 3], the point would jump next towards the same vertex, v[i]+0, or the vertex immediately clockwise, v[i]+1, or the vertex immediately anti-clockwise, v[i]+3. And it would trace all possible routes using that inc-set. Then I added refinements to the process like giving the point extra jumping-targets half-way along each side.
Here are some more variations on the inc-set theme using two and three extra jumping-targets along each side of the square. First of all, try two extra jumping-targets along each side and a set of three increments:
inc = 0, 1, 6
inc = 0, 2, 6
inc = 0, 2, 8
inc = 0, 3, 6
inc = 0, 3, 9
inc = 0, 4, 8
inc = 0, 5, 6
inc = 0, 5, 7
inc = 1, 6, 11
inc = 2, 6, 10
inc = 3, 6, 9
Now try two extra jumping-targets along each side and a set of four increments:
inc = 0, 1, 6, 11
inc = 0, 2, 8, 10
inc = 0, 3, 7, 9
inc = 0, 4, 8, 10
inc = 0, 5, 6, 7
inc = 0, 5, 7, 8
inc = 1, 6, 7, 9
inc = 1, 4, 6, 11
inc = 1, 5, 7, 11
inc = 2, 4, 8, 10
inc = 3, 5, 7, 9
And finally, three extra jumping-targets along each side and a set of three increments:
inc = 0, 3, 13
inc = 0, 4, 8
inc = 0, 4, 12
inc = 0, 5, 11
inc = 0, 6, 9
inc = 0, 7, 9
