Obfuscated code or piece of art?

This short notebooks shows a few examples of Python code, designed to draw something, and shaped as what they will draw...

Mandelbrot set

This nice little code will write a visualization of the Mandelbrot set, on the domain $[-3, 3] \times [-3i, 3i]$, for $1500 \times 1500$ points, as a Bitmap (written manually in binary).

Penrose patterns

This second nice little code will write a visualization of a Penrose tiling (infinite pattern) to a PNG image, of resolution $2000 \times 2000$.

Bitcoin address & private key generator
