Sierpinski Triangle/Chaos Game

Press run to begin simulation. Drag the red nodes with the mouse while paused or in the middle of a simulation if you wish to make multiple triangles or 3D shapes. Feel free to change the speed! (Space bar will make it faster also if you are already at the max speed).

Hold the space bar at the beginning for a very bold triangle.

One cool thing to do is pause it after making a triangle and drag nodes into certain spots to make 3D pyramid.

This simulation simply adds a dot halfway between the last dot's position and one of the nodes. When done thousands of times, a pattern appears that can be recognized as a fractal: the Sierpinski Triangle.

It will probably have lag after a running for a while. Hold space to speed up the process; this will make more dots placed per act cycle, however there will be slightly more lag)
