Fractal Universe V5 - Final

Mandelbrot Set:

Julia Set:

Hi Guys,
This is my fifth release of Fractal Universe for the Sony Playstation Portable.
Fractal Universe is a fractal explorer that supports both Mandelbot and Julia sets.
You can move and zoom in & out of the image you see at any time.

An overlay viewfinder window has been implemented since V3 that lets the user zoom into
any particular spot in the image they want. This saves a lot of rendering time.

The last new feature for V5 release is the all important colour cycling feature.

Features and functionality of this program are based on an old Amiga fractal
explorer I used to play with. Writing this program has been a fun and nostalgic experience

Nice.
Now remains Koch Snowflake, Sierpinski Triangle and Sierpinski Carpet, and some others...
I found a nice link giving sample code & algorithm for generating fractals.See here.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the update.

I won't rule out supporting other algorithms, but Mandelbrot and Julia were the goal from the start.
That's because I'm using an old fractal program I used to play with on the Amiga as a sort
of a standard for features.

Cycling colours would be next on the list. I am going to give that a go.

Lol, and of course it did... just Google "Fractal Universe V4"

I kinda have retired, this was just a revisit

I'm more serious about the Canon programming now.

Colour cycling is done for V5 which will probably be the last one for this program.
Might be ready today.
Cheers, Art.
