I started with a pattern I came up with a few years ago, 12131214121312151213121412131216121312141213121512131214121312171 etc.
it might help to see the pattern visually..

etc.

then I made a progrem where it does a walk going either up, right, left or down a pixel depending on successive values in the pattern, plotting a pixel at each step. like a 1 would be up, 2 would be right, 3 would be down, 4 would be left, 5 would be up, etc. but there are two variables I control. one is what number by which to divide the value by and then take the remainder as the value (and then do that again with 4 to get an up/down/left/right index). the other is how many iterations it goes through.. in other words how many pixels it plots (although it often goes over the same place more than once), and if i remember correctly i controlled that by stopping it when 12131415... value gets up to a certain point -- which means the number iterations will always be a multiple of two if i remember correctly. i don't remember which specific values i used for that pic.. according to the file name the values were 18 and 19, but but i have a third value, 3, and i don't remember what that meant. the 18 and 19 without a third value define the pic below.

here's the same pic but without the claws [link]

this was all done in visual basic 6 and i took screen captures to save the images.
