This is a mandelbrot set arbitaray precision fractal viewer written for fun bc they look cool. This is a mandelbrot set viewer written for fun bc it looks weird and cool to me.
## Features ## Features
- kind of infinite zoom in; wgsl buffers & shader arrays are the software limit, ignoring VRAM - Kind of infinite zoom in; wgsl, your VRAM, and your patience are the limiting factors
- does not stop iterating; can look ugly when it's noisy, but doesn't hide anything from you (given enough time) - GPU based; not very optimized, but fast enough to be comfortable for relatively deep zooms
- snapshot feature for movement & zoom sanity when you're trying to go somewhere specific, needed because it resets the texture every time you move or zoom in - Does not stop iterating; can look noisy when dense, but doesn't "hide" detail from you (given enough time)
- The color function just rotates the hue as the iterations go up, from red to green to blue and back to red - Real time movement controls for easy exploration
- Snapshot feature for movement & zoom sanity when you're trying to go somewhere specific, needed because it resets the texture every time you move or zoom in
- The color is hue rotated as the iterations go up, from red to green to blue and back to red; not the most pleasant looking, but shows you a lot of detail which is the focus
## Controls ## Controls
- WASD for movement - WASD for movement
- scroll to zoom - Scroll to zoom
- Q to take a snapshot - Q to take a snapshot
Snapshots will copy the current texture and let you view it as the new one generates, which is very important for your sanity when you zoom in really far; the undecided regions will be replaced with a darkened version of your snapshot, so you can still know where you are and move around.
