In Need of Ideas for a Small Fractal Program I am a freshman in high school who needs a math related project, so I decided on the topic of fractals.  Being an avid developer, I thought it would be awesome to write a Ruby program that can calculate a fractal.  The only problem is that I am not some programming god, and I have not worked on any huge projects (yet).  So I need a basic-ish fractal 'type' to do the project on.  I am a very quick learner, and my math skills greatly outdo that of my peers (I was working on derivatives by myself last year).  So does anybody have any good ideas?  Thanks!!!! :)
PS: my school requires a live resource for every project we do, so would anybody be interested in helping? :)
