About This Tool

The Koch Antisnowflake Generator creates a geometric fractal based on the classic Koch curve algorithm. Unlike the traditional snowflake that grows outward, the antisnowflake forms inward triangular patterns, producing intricate artistic designs.

Fun Fact

Although the Koch antisnowflake is created using a simple rule, its perimeter becomes infinitely long as iterations increase, while the overall shape remains within a finite area.

Historical Context

The Koch curve was introduced in 1904 by Swedish mathematician Helge von Koch as one of the earliest known fractal curves. The antisnowflake variation explores the same mathematical principle in reverse orientation, demonstrating the power of recursive geometry long before modern computers existed.
