The Vicsek fractal algorithm is a recursive algorithm that creates a
pattern known as the Vicsek fractal or the Vicsek square.
It is based on the concept of self-similarity, where the pattern at each
level of recursion resembles the overall pattern.
The algorithm involves dividing a square into 9 equal smaller squares,
removing the center square, and then repeating this process on the remaining 8 squares.
This results in a pattern that exhibits self-similarity and has a
square-shaped outline with smaller squares within it.
