Mark wrote this about Benedikt's stack:

Style

Benedikt used the entire stack window and 10 lines of script. By doing 
so, he utilised all available opportunities. It must be said, though, 
that the stack itself isn't too attractive, visually, and he used a 
very small number of objects: one field, one button, and one graphic. 
He may have come up with an even more impressive solution, if he had 
used additional objects, though not necessarily.


Originality

The fractal idea is not new. It is impressive, though, that Benedikt 
found a way to draw a fractal-like pattern at high speed in only 10 
lines of script. The way he uses Revolution's tools to do this is 
certainly original.


Fun

True, once you have seen what the stack does, the exercise will not 
astonish you again. Still, if you see it for the first time, you want 
to know what's going on and it is certainly is intriguing. We think 
that the fun is in figuring out how he did it.


Readability

How did he do it? It is not too easy to find out. Have a look at the 
scripts, which are very readable, if you are not scared off by some 
mathematics.


Final Remark

It is remarkable how well Benedikt sticks to the rules of the contest 
while really making the most of all available opportunities. We even 
suspect that he didn't really need that many script lines and added 
some colour animation just to fill the remaining lines. 
Congratulations, Benedikt!
