Infinite Triangles

This experiment was one of my first experiments with WebGL. The story behind this one starts with a camping trip I took with some friends. We didn't camp in the wilderness because of logistical issues, so we ended up camping close to a beach. On the beach, people started to build sand sculptures, so I began working on a Sierpinski-esque triangle design, but with recursion in the inner triangle as well. Ultimately, a few other people ended up working on the increasingly intricate design. After the camping trip ended, the triangular fractals (affectionately called "tringles" by my friend Sarah) became a sort of running joke and obsession, and we ended up doodling them all over the place. Eventually I decided to make a version with code that would be infinite.
