Here's a nice webgl implementation that I found recently:

It's fun to explore. Beautiful patterns.

Thank you for sharing this. I remember rendering these 20+ years ago on a 386, & having to wait a few seconds for each set of parameters.

Thanks for posting. Re-writing some of the programs into something like processing might be fun.

Dr Sprott seems to still be publishing.

Heads up, this is over 20 years old. Not saying you shouldn't read it, just a lot has happened since then.

What in particular has happened since then and which textbooks explaining these new techniques or discoveries would you recommend? Last time I studied this, I worked through Ott's book and through the book by Almeida, but both are older, so I am curious what the developments were.

Pretty excellent considering how many plots there are!

Lots of dots!
