My attempt using matlab(octave) to generate a 100x100 version of the image (using his function description):

Hadn't figured out if there is a way of vectorising it further. Would appreciate any tips if anyone has any.

I've managed to hack it into a semi-vectorised implementation which works up to 700x700 before it runs out of memory.

Interesting! You dont have the squares. This is a hint that the squares in my version are due to floating point limitations.

It's probably a combination of floating point errors adding up.
