Chaos Game Fractal Generator: A Rust CLI Tool for Algorithmic Fractal Image Generation
By

Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
A Rust-based command-line application that generates fractal images using the 'Chaos Game' algorithm. The algorithm works by defining vertices of a regular polygon, choosing a random starting point, and iteratively moving toward randomly selected vertices at a fixed ratio to produce fractal patterns.

· 5 pulledDefine the $n$ vertices of a regular polygon
Choose a random initial point within the polygon
Select one of the polygon's vertices at random
Move the current point a specific ratio, $r$, of the distance towards the chosen vertex
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for some large number of iterations, plotting each new point
