This is implemented with canvas. Cleaned source: http://pastie.org/5391134

FYI: that's a copyright violation because the original source doesn't carry a license that would allow it to be modified and reproduced.

Super! I'd love the option to change the color of the background. Any way to do that?

Some amazing generative art, done with Processing, here: http://complexification.net/gallery/

You can grab the source for these and play around with them, tweaking values to see how things work.

One of my favorites is Sand Traveler. The underlying algorithm is relatively simple, but the results are stunning.

These are presented as Java applets, but Processing 2.0 now lets you export code to JavaScript (processing.js).

It also exports to Android apk files, so you can build Android apps with Processing.
