This project is meant to create graphically beautiful fractals.
The term fractal was first used by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot in 1974, he based it on the Latin word fractus, meaning "broken" or "fractured". A fractal is an abstract mathematical object, like a curve or a surface, which has a similar pattern whatever the scale. This project shows the Mandelbrot Julia Burningship and Tricorn fractal.
- This is an assignment that I made at Codam(42 Network). The pdf of the assignment can be found in this repository.
- The Library that is used is also made by me. This project can also be found on my github page.
Make file commands:
make
make re
make clean
make fclean
- Usage:
./fractol [ valid_fractal]
options: julia, mandelbrot, burningship, tricorn
Controls:
Change fractol : F
Change colour : C
Zoom : Mouse wheel
Move: Arrows
Reset : R
Change itaration : +/-
Freeze mouse : space
The Julia fractol changes when you move your mouse.
You can use your space bar to freeze it at a certain position and explore the fractal further.
