Fractal generators have huge benefits when it comes to computer graphics, such as modeling landscapes, coastlines, river networks, lightning bolts, ocean waves, snowflakes, etc.

Fractals also occur in other natural phenomenons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal#Natural_phenomena_with_fractal_features

It's kinda been a big thing (for computers) since the 80s: https://vimeo.com/5810737

Video games with large open world maps would be practically impossible if they had to model every mountain, river and crater by hand!

Awesome program Zealot! Your efforts will inspire me to (hopefully) work on something for 68k Macs during my winter break. ;)
