Show HN: Strange Attractors
43 by shashanktomar | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors( https://ift.tt/4DPtOgB ). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to 3D, not sure if it’s mathematically correct, but it’s the coolest by far. I have left all the params configurable, so give it a try. I called it Simone (Maybe). If you like math-art experiments, check it out. Would love feedback, especially from folks who know more about the math side.
