Recently I’ve been playing with fractals. I’ve never had much interest in them up until a few days ago, when I’ve seen someone’s fractal project. As such I’ve started putting together a small application to make and view said fractals.

I’m not yet sure what I’ll do with it, seeing as how it renders rather slowly, and zooming and panning are a nightmare. I’ll look into more optimisations, if they work, I’ll try to load the applet up with more features, if they don’t I’ll most likely upload it as is.

Currently the app has rendering, contrast optimisation, zooming and panning, fractals are hard coded at the moment.

I’m planning to add custom formulas, julia/Mandelbrot switching, and whatever else comes to mind naturally or via suggestions.

For the moment here are some images I’ve pulled from the fractal viewer:

The application started off as a Julia set generator/viewer

From the start I've avoided the standard Mandelbrot set and tried to find others

Not all of them were great to look at

But this one was my favourite

Along the way I made mistakes, not sure how I got this one

This seems to be the zooming limit for the applet at 221683.802%

And last but not least a detail from the burning ship fractal

Questions and suggestions are always welcome.
