WARNING This can freeze up your computer. (My computer could only handle 5000 after about a half hour.) If you have a slow computer, reduce the "For" loop to a lower number, like 500, then work your way up to 1000.

Fractal from my old calculus book

I don't know the name of this one. It's lopsided for some reason.

fractal from my old calculus book
x = 50
y = 1.8
z = 50
for i = 1, 2000, 1  do
a = math.random(1,5)

if a == 1 then 
x = (.25*x) - 25
z = .25*z + 25
end

if a == 2 then 
x = .288*x -(.167*z) - 50
z = .167*x +.288*z - 50
end

if a == 3 then 
x = (.25*x)-74.6
z = .25*z+74.6
end

if a == 4 then 
x = .5*x+50
z = .5*z-50
end

if a == 5 then 
x = .18*x+.174*z+50
