About Ice Fractal

Ice Fractal is my personal website where I post my fun projects, for everyone to enjoy! My focus is on fractals, math, and computer science, but I enjoy everything scientific. I've also studied physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and many other subjects. The centerpiece of science is math, and without math, none of these subjects could exist.

• Many of my projects are for appreciating the beauty of math, like my Mandelbrot Fractal Viewer. All the real-time viewers I could find online were limited to WebGL's low precision 32-bit numbers, but I wanted to zoom way in, so I used some mathematical tricks to emulate double precision numbers on the GPU to make a smooth real-time viewer with about 100,000 times more zoom!

• Some are tools, like my 3D math grapher:

• Some are games, like Tic-Tac-Toe.

• And I've written articles about most of these topics, like Bitwise Fractals, which describes how simple binary operations like x & y actually generate fractals! The equations are so simple that I discovered them by accident while playing with my 3D grapher. I pressed Shift+7 instead of Shift+8, getting an & instead of a * which performs a bitwise AND operation.
