The term FRACTAL was coined by Benoit Mandelbrot to give a descriptive name to complex geometric objects arising in mathematics and natural science.
From a programming point of view, the generation of fractal images can be divided into iterative and recursive processes. This collection contains over 100 samples of fractal images produced by recursive techniques. The program does not store the image, but creates each based on certain mathematical schemes. Although the most famous fractal, The Mandelbrot Set, can be created by a recursive procedure, it is too computationally intensive to include it in this collection.
One characteristic feature of a fractal object is its self-similarity, that is, the similarity between the whole object and its details. It should be noted, however, that we shall never see the total fractal object; we can draw its approximations only, going into finer details when we increase the computing speed and time for the computation. Nevertheless, a standard IBM PC allows us to study the principles, while the speed-hungry programs can be transferred to more powerful computers.

Another thing that really makes Fractals Recursive Curves enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Fractals Recursive Curves. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
