Dodgy brace indentation, use of magic numbers in the code (i.e. 1.61 and 0.03). Code fails peer review.

Hello and thank you for participating 
The image was created using Java and OpenGL. The code in the background is the code that generates the image, including an image of itself. The following distribution was used to create this example.
http://www.processing.org
Processing is a Java based environment and collection of libraries for rapid prototyping of multimedia applications.
If you liked the combining of code and visual form, you might also like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorists
