Fwiw, here is a rendering of a DLA cluster that was grown online:

in the following pre-alpha highly experimental program I created:

http://funwithfractals.atspace.cc/ct_fdla_anime_dynamic_test

The code can be streamlined quite a bit, but it should go ahead and work 
for now.

It starts off with a single strong attracting agent in the center of a 
parametric square with an equation of:

x = cos(t) * abs(cos(t))
y = sin(t) * abs(sin(t))

Particles are released from this square, and are immediately influenced 
by the center point attractor. They will hit the point and start to 
build a DLA cluster. This is all animated.

If you let the program run, it will try to fill the square with this 
single DLA cluster. However, I added the ability to click on a point, 
and create an attractor with a weaker influence than the center. You 
should be able to let it run for a little while, then click some points 
in the square and watch particles be dynamically attracted to, and hit 
them. Each hit creates a new attractor. This is how it grows.

My source code is all there.

Can anybody get it to work? Thanks.
