How Does it Work?
Each particle continually sends out two sensors in the direction of its velocity, one to its left and one to its right. Each sensor calculates the Mandelbrot value. The resuling value determines which sensor is closest to the boundary. The closest sensor creates a force causing the particle to turn. There is a bit of randomness to keep up the heat! Mandelswarm uses javascript/HTML5-Canvas. The original Java version is HERE
