Fibered Fractal Tiler

Name

Fibered Fractal Tiler

Description

The Fibered Fractal Tiler is a Win32 application (the package also contains the source code) with a GUI front-end that allows users to design discrete self-similar fractals and either simulate their growth, stage by stage, or (for a well-defined subset of discrete self-similar fractals) automatically generate tilesets and seeds that will self-assemble into fibered versions of those fractals. See "Self-Assmebly of Discrete Self-Similar Fractals" by Patitz and Summers for a detailed description.

A Windows version can be downloaded here: http://self-assembly.net/software/FiberedFractalTiler/FiberedFractalTiler.zip

Here are a series of images showing various discrete self-similar fractals and their fibered versions.
