The fractal is simple. Find circle intersections, draw circles at those 
points,
then find all of the newly generated intersections, and repeat... You can
create some pretty nice fractals that way. Also, it seems as if circle 
inter-
sections can be used for other applications as well...

I was wondering if my code is total crap or not. Please, any advise would be
extremely beneficial. I just hope it does not involve a complete rewrite.
Luckily, this software is in pre-alpha stages:

The most important setting is the first input box on the list: Iters = N,
where the default is N = 0. Now, be careful with this. Start small,
say N <= 7, to get a feel for it. If you set N to high, the computer will
crank away, and freeze the fuc%ing browser. Therefore, I need to
integrate the fractal iteration within an animation render loop, and
introduce a play/pause button.


Here are some settings you can enter in that creates, IMVHO , some
fairly interesting fractals:

Here are some other renderings generated online, unfortunately I did not 
post
the settings for these:

BTW, I need to add color, damn it!  ;^/

The circle intersection used in the algorithm can be found here:

Also, here is an older CSS3 fractal animation I made a while back:

Enjoy!
