Spirofractal generates cool-looking fractal, strange attractor, and cellular automata images, either completely automatically and at random, or based on parameters you set up. You'll be impressed with this program's output, which goes far beyond the Mandelbrot and Julia sets you normally see in many similar apps. You can run the program two ways: as a screen saver or as a typical windowed program with pull-down menus for adjusting its plethora of options. Nine different kinds of patterns are produced: C.A.T Fractals, Sierpinski Fractals, Complex Attractors, Quadratic Attractors, Tiles, Set Fractals, Basin Boundary Fractals, Ant Automata, and Wolfram Cellular Automata.
