Drawing a Sierpiński triangle with random numbers

This is a small script from my school days, which draws a Sierpiński triangle using random numbers.

This is a well known example of a chaos game. Using turtle, it produces a Sierpiński triangle, which is a nice looking fractal.

This script (without some enhancements) was created at a course at the "Mathematische Schülergesellschaft Leonhard Euler" some years ago.

Troubleshooting

To get it to work, I had to do some searching. These links may help you.

• On installing turtle: ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info Check the logs for full command output.
• ImportError: libtk8.6.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
