The Wondrous Project

Following the initial Max XCode project, construct an object that inputs random numbers and outputs numbers conforming to the 'wondrous number' formula as expressed in Douglas Hofstatder's book Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid.

You'll probably find that the rhdiff.txt example is the best to use. Obviously, make sure the thing works and that you then work on a copy...

For your information, the formula is:

• Choose a random number;
  • If a number is even, divide it by 2;
  • If a number is odd, multiply it by 3 and then add 1;
  • If the result is not 1, check the number again;
  • If the result is 1, input a new random number;
• And so on...

Name the Object "your_initials" and then the word wondrous. So, my object would be called rhwondrous.

Then utilise the object in a Max patch. Include documentation within the patch.

Your submission should include the complete source code of the project.
