Use the basic element, but randomize the structure and it will more resemble a fractal in the usual sense. There are ascii fractals using simple triangles. They are great candidates for animation, but I fear that the visual impact of animated ascii fractals is tacky compared to the real thing. ======================================================== [] [] [] /( Visit the Gallery of the 'steins!
