❤️‍🔥 Fractal Flame

Fractal flame is an algorithm proposed by Scott Draves that uses iterated function systems (IFS) to build images.

Due to different seed values for the pseudorandom number generator, many different “pictures” can be obtained. Although fractality is not always visible in them, the results are very interesting.
