Mandelbrot Fractal Generator is a mandelbrot fractal rendering program with zoom feature, allowing user to watch the fractal as it replicates itself.

This was a contest entry for the NEO Summer Coding Compo 2007 (PSP App).

User guide

This actual version has three fractal sizes: Fullscreen (480x272), Medium (250x200), Small (120x100).

Bigger fractal means longer rendering time.

Also, you can set number of orbit checks per loop - more checks means more details and longer rendering time.

Default is 100 and with this setting you can reach 60-70x zoom,with ~30sec rendering time.

With 300 checks per loop you can reach as far as 500x zoom, but rendering of single zoom can take even up to 5 minutes and author has set the limited possible number of checks to 300.

Controls

Analog - Move the selection point

D-Pad - Precise movement of the selection point

Select - Hide coordinates

L/R - Zoom in and out

Cross - Begin fractal generation from the selected point

Triangle - Exit the application (while not rendering)
