I started off and used VPython to create the fractal, but it was slow and buggy. [Here’s a movie of my first attempt. When you click you create a new “seed” for the fractal to start. ](http://youtu.be/gfJP9CfAkko)

So I rewrote it in Processing.org (2.0 just came out!), and the results are far more satisfying. [Left click to start a seed, and right click to clear the scene. Check it out!](http://recursiveprocess.com/brownian/)
