- Short: Simple Mandelbrot generator for Retina
-
- This is Version 0.1 of "Retina Mandelbrot," a Mandelbrot
- set generator which outputs its graphics directly upon
- the Retina graphics card for the Amiga computer. This
- program branches very simplistic; not only does it not
- support zooming or other nifty features such as color
- cycling, but it also is not very optimized. On a 760 by 482
- screen, it will take approximately ten minutes to render
- a full Mandelbrot set. The program uses the so-called
- "divide and conquer" algorithm.
-
- Future improvements will include: a fully intuitionized
- user interface; zooming, panning, and other gross
- movement operations; and support for color cycling.
- Of course, I will attempt to make this program much
- faster.
