fract-ol

A program that creates beautiful graphical fractals.

Description

This program uses the screen drawing library MiniLibX to draw fractals.

Valid fractals are the following three types of sets.

• Mandelbrot set
• Julia set
• Burning Ship set

Usage

Clone the submodule at the same time with the following command.

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/tksx1227/fract-ol.git

You can use the make command to generate object files and a binary file.

$ make
$ ls
Makefile README.md bin/ include/ minilibx/ obj/ src/

You can draw by passing the number corresponding to the fractal you want to draw in the command line argument.

$ ./bin/fractol
Usage: fractol <TYPE NUMBER>
The available type numbers are:
  - 0: Julia
  - 1: Mandelbrot
  - 2: Burning ship

The actions that can be executed while drawing are:

• Close the window by pressing the esc key
• Screen movement using the cross key
• Zoom in and out using the mouse wheel
• Update the set according to the coordinates of the cursor by switching the space key (Julia set only)
