Tiny Test, order from chaos

Really simple, small example.
Sorry if this is not "worthy" for projects and demos. If not, feel free not to post and let the thread sink to the bottom.
It's just interesting.

It generates random points, joins them up, replaces points with midpoints of the lines.
It always tends to an elipse. I read about it somewhere, can't remember where.
Edit 2: It also tends to one at 45º, I have just found...

I'm a fan of this kind of things, and i'm pretty sure i could demonstrate the ellipsoidal result ,
and it's a nice shape generator !
It misses a renormalizer, to zoom in during iterations.
I think i will try to make a glyph generator out of it, maybe even convert it in bezier curves and export it in a svg format. (I love generators )

Good idea. I've added one, but it's not ideal.
I've been making löve all day (...no pun intended) so I'm just going to go to bed.
First time I've used love.graphics.push/pop before though

Hellö !

I've made a mini game inspired by this curiosity :

It's a little memory game with generated symbols.. guess how they are generated

Btw, @celynwalters, just saw your edit2. It indeed tends to have privileged axes towards the diagonals, i had a few perfect circles (perfect only to the eyes i suppose ).

Cool game!

pakoskyfrog, I read your post, but forgot to reply.

Really cool.
I wasn't seeing an actual application for this, I'm glad somebody found one!
Looks like you could genuinely make a game out of pretty much anything.
Awesome.
