Mandel brot is german for almond bread.
A Mandelbrot set renderer with nifty features. Explore the depths and infinite details of the Mandelbrot set to the extent of the limits of javascript floating point numbers 😅
- Mouse and keyboard controls, including selection zoom, and horizontal/vertical re-scaling
- Multiple color palettes (taken at random from coolors.co) with linear interpolation
- Render configuration is stored on the query string, so that the current view can be shared
- Parallel rendering using web workers for squeezing extra performance
- Download current view as image
The app refuses to run at all on mobile and shows a blocking screen, on purpose, to avoid an unusable experience.
It is a priority to implement usability on touch devices.
The app is somewhat unstable on heavy renders and sometimes crashes the browser tab. This should be fixed, although reloading the page will produce the correct results.
Experiment with an arbitrary floating point math library.
Color palettes are really not well thought out. Some work should be put into choosing colors that produce good results.
