Gilbert Curve (via)
The Hilbert Curve is space-filling fractal that, in the limit, will fill any power-of-two-sized square with an increasingly dense squiggle that fills the plane.
The Gilbert Curve is a generalization of the Hilbert curve to rectangular spaces. The main code is in Python but there are also implementations in JavaScript and C.
