Mandelbrot
Just playing around with math. I had played around with fractals back in the days of DOS. After seeing some stunning 3D images of MandelBulbs, I thought I'd play around with this stuff for a bit.
I wrote a little Mandelbrot explorer program that pans and zooms. Here's an example image it created.
And another...
You can download this program at:
MandelBrot1.zip
You may need to run the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Redistributable Pack to run this program.

Impressive.
it's fun to zoom in on those, isn't it
Publius, it takes a whole lotta computing power to run those zooms, from what I gather.
These look really cool, Weaseldog.
Weaseldog, have you seen the 2010 Visual Studio beta release yet?
Those zooms would've taken many hours to many days to process on the old DOS systems. When I was first playing around with those, I'd often leave the system running overnight.
I haven't seen the 2010 release yet. Is it dramatically different than 2008?
I don't know. I downloaded it, but haven't had time to work with it yet. I was hoping you would know, LOL!
