Lovely stuff, johnsmith! I'm curious how you optimized the algorithms for speed and memory. Do you have any tips to share?

@code7: I'm glad you asked! I actually used recursion and memoization techniques to ensure the memory footprint stayed reasonably small without sacrificing too much performance. I'd be happy to share more details, if you'd like to check out my implementation!

@code7: No problem at all! I'll send you a private message with a few tips on how to get started, and we can go from there. Good luck with your implementation!

How did you manage to avoid losing detail in the more intricate patterns, @artsyengineer? I'm looking to implement something similar in my work, and I'm really interested in learning more!

@artsyengineer: I'd be really grateful for any advice you have to offer! I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to generative art, and I'm still learning the ropes.
