James Gleick's CHAOS: The Software
This is a free release of the source, manual, and executables of a
1991 Autodesk DOS program that was called "James Gleick's CHAOS: The
Software." The software was written by Josh Gordon, Rudy Rucker and
John Walker. Rucker wrote most of the algorithms, except for the
Fractal Landscapes algorithms, which are by John Walker. Josh Gordon
did the interface, and much of the implementation of the algorithm
code. The program was written in consultation with James Gleick about
his brilliant book, Chaos: Making a New Science . This release is
under a Gnu license.
Cover of Chaos Package
Downloads for the Release 1.1
The CHAOS executables and parameter files.
The CHAOS User manual.
The CHAOS source code.
It's possible to run the Chaos program on any virtually any platform,
inside a DOS shell called DOSBox. Details on the Releases page.
You are free to alter the Chaos code and upload new versions. Or use
our algorithms to spin off smaller programs. See our Chaos GitHub
repository for the Chaos code online.
The biggest outstanding upgrades for Chaos might be: (1) Increase the
resolution or pixel size of the display. (2) Elmimate our use of the
old DOS TSR or "terminate and stay resident" program metashel.exe,
made by MetaGraphics Software Corporation. Chaos uses metashel calls
for its graphics.
