So I did. For those that don't know, what this is, well. You take a point called c in the complex plain and z1 = 0^2 + c, and z2 = z1^2 + c and z3 = z2^2 + c and so on. and so on.. If the series of Zs will always stay close to Z and never trend away that point is in the Mandelbrot Set. Insert more song lyrics here... because why not. </p> <p>It's a fractal. A super cool one. One that takes a lot of iteration to display nicely. I just kind of added a filter of colors to make it look nice. Truthful, 127 by 127 is super small for any detail, and 4 bit color depth limits it too, it kind of works.</p> <p>More and zoom in with x, and find out just how quickly zooming in can mess up floating point numbers, so zooming in about 3 times breaks it.</p> <p>But have fun with it. this fractal looks super cool even in the limited 16 colors.</p> <p>I just found out that there is one included in the demos, but hey, I like mine better.</p> https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=28913 https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=28913 Tue, 28 Feb 2017 22:31:35 UTC
