Say hello to the creation! .-D

(Don't ask about the glowing thing, just don't let it touch your eyes.)

Good job. It'skinda what I expected, except for the glow. But I won't ask about that.

The glow is actually just a natural biproduct of the sheer power of the sq1ua7re

"fractal" just means "broken-looking" (as in "fracture"). see Benoît Mandelbrot's original book on this

I assume you mean "nice looking self-replicating pattern", which you can easily obtain by replacing each square by the whole picture over and over again

Fractal might have meant that when Mandelbrot coined the name, but that is not what it means now.
