Learning Resource
A personal site collecting algorithm experiments and visual toys. Fractals, reaction–diffusion, chaos, the n-body problem, boids, the travelling salesman problem, Voronoi diagrams and more can be set in motion and explored in the browser.

Studio / Collective Revisited
A studio that designs products and artworks with simulations inspired by natural processes. Founded in 2007 by Jessica Rosenkrantz and Jesse Louis-Rosenberg, it makes 3D-printed jewelry, jigsaw puzzles and more.

Channel / Account
A creative-coding channel built around p5.js and similar tools. Its "Coding Challenges" build small pieces on fractals, prime spirals, physics simulations and other mathematical and natural phenomena from scratch, on camera. By the same author as The Nature of Code.

Artist
A huge archive of mathematical and physical simulation images by a researcher at École polytechnique in France, with more than ten thousand pictures and animations grouped by theme — real numbers, fractals, quantum physics, astronomy and more. The site is old-fashioned and easy to get lost in, but it is still being updated.

Learning Resource Revisited
Articles on computer graphics, mathematics, shaders and fractals. Its explanations of signed distance functions and raymarching are standard references for anyone drawing shapes with equations.
