my 1st entry for the challenge i suppose..
it's a program used to plot the Buddhabrot(created by
Melinda Green), which is an interesting way of displaying the mandlebrot fractal.
The screenshot below is from version 0.2(too lazy to take a new shot lol
) but i think it's safe to say that the app at its current stage is in an early alpha stage. Rendering the fractal in the screenshot took about 60 minutes(on my gf's 700 or so Mhz laptop) with the threshold set to around 2000..
Based on documentation by J.Tarbell, M.Green and P.Bourke.
I will add the sourcecode once im 100% satisfied with the program(and once the sourcecode aint sloppy spaghetti code
)
Ok, update.. the download is now what i consider 1.0a, and my final update for the competition.. also, the source is now included in the zip. i also added a new screenshot to show off my 7½h render at 20 threshold
so, a few thresholds to play around with that give some nice results: 20, 200, 2000, 20000..
