Sierpinski Carpet in OpenGL

Sierpinski Carpet generation using OpenGL and GLUT library. Written in c++.

Images

Carpet generated by 6 iterations and width of 728 pixels:

Generated by executing:

./bin/main --iterations 6 --width 728

Carpet with random color and deformations:

Generated by executing:

./bin/main --iterations 4 --deformation 0.3 --color

Compiling:

To compile the source code execute:

make

or:

g++ src/main.cpp -lGL -lglut -o bin/main

Usage:

To run the program execute:

./bin/main

Available parameters:

• --size <size_in_px> sets the carpet width and height. The size_in_px value must be a power of 3 (default value: 728),
• --iterations <num_of_iterations> sets the number of iterations ("the depth of the recursion tree") (default value: 6),
• --color sets the color of inner cubes to random values,
• --deformation <deformation_amount> randomly deforms the carpet. The deformation_amount must be a floating point number between 0.0 and 1.0. 0.0 means no deformation. 1.0 means that deformation can achieve a maximum value of one inner square (default value: 0.0)
• --help prints help text.
