Interactive representation of different fractals. Written in C, using the MLX library, as part of the cursus at 42 Paris.
The goal of the project is to present the user with an interactive 2d representation of several fractals. Fractals are mathematical objets which have the property of 'exhibiting similar patterns at increasingly small scales called self similarity'.
Main features:
- Infinite zooming(up to computer capabilities)
- 5 different types of fractals: Mandelbrot, Julia, Douady, burning_ship, burning_julia
- 10 colors sets
- Redefine julia fractals through mouse cursor ('L' key to activate)
- Manually adjust number of iterations
- Multithreaded
Only works on MacOS with provided library
To install simply type:
make
OpenGL has to be installed as it is required by the MLX library.
