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)

Changelog
Final
- Added 6 new colors.
- Added Fullscreen 4:3 resolution(363x272).
- Now you can go back to menu without quiting the game.
- Added colored background feature(only for red,green,yellow,blue colors).
- You can take screenshots and save coordinates now. It works like that:
- You press select,then screenshot is saved in /psp/photo/. Screenshot names are incrementing, so these will be screenshot0.png screenshot1.png ect.
- Coordinates are saved in /psp/game/mandelbrot/coordinates/with name connected with screenshot, so if name of your screen shot was screenshot21.png, then coordinates will be saved as screenshot21_coordinates.txt. In this file there will be saved every point you clicked, so if you zoomed for example 4 times, then in this file will be:
- 342,98
- 213,231
- 476,123
