Diffusion Limited Aggregation

From a point on a circumference, selected at random, a particle starts a random gaussian motion. In each step of its walk, it is decided also at random which way goes up, down, right or left, observes if the arrival point is occupied already by another particle, it if does, it sticks to it, otherwise continues its walk. If the particles goes out of the circle, disappears and another particle is generated.

This model is used for dendrite formation, deposition in an electrolitic solution in a central electrode and in several physical phenomena.
