Fractol is a graphical project in the 42 school. It aims to render fractals generated from complex numbers that produce unique and intricate patterns: the Mandelbrot and Julia sets. Users can interact with the fractals by zooming in and out, changing color schemes, and adjusting parameters to observe intricate patterns and structures.

Usage

• Compile with make

• Execute the program with the desired fractal type as a command-line argument:

  ./fractol mandelbrot

  or

  ./fractol julia real_value imaginary_value

  (use decimal point values between -2.0 and 2.0)

• Use arrow keys to pan the fractal.

• Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out.

• Experiment with different color schemes and parameters to customize the visualization.

Controls

• Arrow keys: Pan the fractal in different directions.
• Scroll wheel: Zoom in and out of the fractal.
• Plus & minus keys: Change the number of iterations (default number of iterations is 42, key adds or substracts 10).
• Space: shift color scheme.
• x, s: Change julia value for the real component (x adds 0.1 and s substracts 0.1).
• y, a: Change julia value for the imaginary component (y adds 0.1 and a substracts 0.1).
