Michael,

Please note that "the answer" doesn't exist in programming. Rather there
is "an answer", or "a possible answer".

Perfectly correct. And that's exactly what my students do at class:
They follow the teacher's explanations and watch several sample
solutions. Then they go tinkering with what they got to produce
different solution(s), or by-product(s). Then they get homework:
Reproducing some selected image(s) from the site pages. The image(s)
is/are chosen by the teacher according to what the students have
learened and digested so far.

What you see on my site is only the last of those phases.

If you decide to teach recursive graphics (and if you don't do it yet) -
my full assistance to you is granted.
