Fwiw, here is an online program I coded in JavaScript that shows the idea:

http://funwithfractals.atspace.cc/ct_fdla_pa_t0

It shoots random rays from a circle that interact with the DLA cluster
in the middle. In the "beginning", there is a single attracting point in
the center of the circle. Let it run until a message box pops up saying
"Anime Complete!"

It creates renderings like:

Imvho, this is different than using random pixel walkers in a
"traditional" DLA simulation. Each point is an actual attracting agent
in the vector field itself. Imvho, its fairly interesting.

Any thoughts? Does the online program work for you?

Thanks everybody.

I posted it over in sci.physics here:

However, the seems to a shi% load of trolls. Hence, the multi-post.

Sorry. ;^o

I am thinking of a way to speed up the process along with the animation.
What if the main circle that the random rays are cast from start off at
a small radius around the single "seed" attractor? The distance that the
rays have to travel would be radically decreased. As soon as the code
notices that random rays have to travel a very short distance, relative
to the radius of the circle, to hit there attractor's, it would simply
increase the size of the circle and repeat the process of growing the
main DLA cluster?

Hummm... It would basically have to work wrt making the process faster.
