Summary of Coding Challenge #2: Menger Sponge Fractal

00:00:00 - 00:10:00

The coder demonstrates how to create a Menger Sponge fractal in Processing. First, a box object is created and then chopped up into smaller boxes. These boxes are then drawn on screen. The process is repeated with a new box, with a radius that is the original box's radius multiplied by 3. This process is repeated until the desired fractal is achieved.

• 00:00:00 The video demonstrates how to create a meander sponge fractal using Processing. The first step is to create a box object, which will be used as the fractal's base. Next, a function is created to chop the box up into many small boxes. Finally, the boxes are drawn on screen.
• 00:05:00 The coder creates a new box, with a radius that is the original box's radius multiplied by 3, and then calculates the size of the box relative to where the original box is located. The coder then creates an ArrayList of boxes, called "sponge," and returns it as a big ArrayList. For every box that is currently in the sponge, the coder divides it up into 27 pieces and adds it to the next in the Sponge ArrayList. Finally, the coder replaces the sponge with the new boxes, and the program finishes.
• 00:10:00 The video discusses how to create a Menger Sponge fractal in Processing, using a lot of ArrayList variables.
