All,

This month's COhPy Python Challenge is on refactoring. The repository with
instructions can be found here:

https://github.com/cohpy/challenge-201608-refactor

Sometimes old computer books can provide simple challenges or interesting
programs that are often overlooked today. The program to be refactored is a
small program that generates pretty pictures algorithmically. The formula
used is one mentioned in A. K. Dewdney's book "The Armchair Universe" from
1987.

The chapter with the formula, "Wallpaper for the Mind" is based on a
Computer Recreations column from Scientific American. A pdf of that article
can be found here:

Instructions on how to submit entries to the challenge are in the README
thanks to Jim Prior.

There are no right or wrong answers! This is an opportunity to flex your
refactoring muscles.

Best Regards,
Eric
