Code for these images. I hope you’re familiar with the Koch curve fractal or snowflake. It essentially consists taking a line segment, splitting it in three, and substituting the middle part by two segments that form an equilateral triangle without the base.

Furthermore, you can do it for any image that is a collection of segments.

I wanted a background that would update automatically in some interesting way, instead of just random images. After some thought, I decided to use some Julia fractals. I made a code to create the Julia fractals in the Julia language, and then some code to run it for a random point. The code is here, including some explaining on how to use and install it. Here are some examples:
