I had do do a school project and create a program which made the shapes... so I used the only code i knew and made it in warcraft! boy did the teacher get a surprise... I totally know what you mean about going over your heads, dont worry, it does that to a lot of people who aren't devoting their time to passing TEE maths (including the people who've already passed it). And, BTW, its a *TOTALLY* useless branch of mathematics (well, they've found ONE use for Mandelbrocht fractals but not for Sierpinski ones.....)

Why no comments? probably because people followed my instructions and deleted the map after they realised they had no idea what it was about....
Basically it creates pretty patterns based on polygons, through the seemingly random process called 'the chaos game'. The shape created, instead of being a random collection of dots as you might think, actually creates an extremely ordered shape called a fractal, where each section is an exact replica of every other section, at any scale. Amazing.
You could possibly use this to create some interesting spell effects around a hero.

:). Please comment, if only on how brilliantly this is made :).
