Title: Colorpic fractals
Post by: Darl181 on July 14, 2012, 02:19:11 pm

For a while, I've had this program called Colorpic, which allows you to take colors from anywhere on the screen.  Recently I've started using it again.
It has a preview pane that shows what the mouse is over and magnifies it. You can also have it draw a small box in the preview pane, showing where the cursor is, and a grid, one dot for x pixels.

After messing around, I found some pretty crazy recursion stuff, and it ended up making fractals O.O

Spoiler For big image:

When yuo move the cursor around it goes mad, and it looks like you're flying into it or something.

Has anybody else found something like this?

So it's like a screenshot of the area being screenshotted zoomed in?

Kinda reminds me of http://recursivedrawing.com/, except I don't think that's what color picker tools were meant for lol (Which makes it more fun :D)

Pretty much, except there's a grid put on top of the screenshot.
