The changes of this base algorithm from Edward Zajec brings color to the results and looks a little bit human made. Intense changes of the figure-functions, now the objects are placed by random numbers. The alpha value is now changed during painting.

Each one of the figures in this piece is drawn by a separate function,

Each one of the figures were previously studied to be the more accurate possible

At the beginning of each one of the functions are defined the different values
