The term fractal was first used by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot in 1974. He based it on the Latin word fractus which means "broken" or "fractured". A fractal is an abstract mathematical object, like a curve or a surface, which pattern remains the same at every scale. Various natural phenomena – like the romanesco cabbage – have some fractal features.
- Fractol is a 42 Project aimed at exploring fractals; mathematical sets that exhibit a repeating pattern displayed at every scale.
- Functions
- Switch between fractls : Mandelbrot, Julia, Burningship.
- Increase and decrease max iteration for shape calculation.
- Zoom and unzoom.
- Different colors patterns.
Run make. An executable will compile. Runs on OS.
Run it with ./fractol [fractal] [color] [type]. Possible fractals are: Mandelbrot, Julia,
Burningship. Cycle color-schemes with 0-3. [<-][^][->] Use the Arrows to move. Zoom in and out with the
mousewheel.
