Instructions:
You
can hit "Grow" to see the flake grow really fast, or "Grow Slowly" to see
the algorithm in action.
Description: Notice
that the points of the initial hexagonal seed tend to grow more quickly
than the edges. This is a demonstration of why the flake grows with
six-fold symmetry, described more fully in the "Diffusion" section of the
page.
