// Clouds of points, one glowing splat each.
//
// Flames: the chaos game of an iterated function system (Draves' fractal
// flames, in 3D): each sample starts at a random point and applies 32
// randomly chosen maps, each an affine map then a blend of variations
// (linear, sinusoidal, spherical, swirl, bubble, cylinder, polar,
// horseshoe), its color moving toward the map's. Forms: a random flame
// from a seed, the Sierpinski tetrahedron, Menger dust and the octahedron
// flake. The CPU runs the same game first to frame the flame.
//
// Nebula: the Buddhabrot in 4D. Each sample is a point of the orbit of a c
// that escapes the Mandelbrot iteration (or, inverted, one that never
// does), stored as (z, c), four coordinates; the draw turns them in 4D, so
// the cloud morphs live. Half the c are drawn near the main cardioid and
// the period-2 bulb, where orbits are long.
