This repository contains a Mandelbrot set visualization program implemented in C++ using Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML) for graphics rendering. Additionally, the visualization benefits from GLSL fragment shaders for efficient computation of the Mandelbrot set.
- Real-time rendering of the Mandelbrot set with smooth zoom and pan functionalities.
- Utilizes GLSL fragment shaders for accelerated computation.
- Interactive user interface for navigation and exploration.
- Customizable parameters for the Mandelbrot set rendering.
- Use arrow keys to pan the view.
- Scroll up/down to zoom in/out (or use
+/-keys). - Adjust parameters for different visualizations.
- Increase/decrease the number of iterations with
Right/Left Altkey. - To move around the screen more slowly, hold down
Shift
Load different gradient from assets/gradients folder (or add your custom gradient - image with ratio 1024x10).
- Rainbow:
- Pastel:
- Green-Red-Blue:
- Blue to yellow:
- Aquarelle:
Also you can customize some parameters:
iterations: Maximum iterations for Mandelbrot set computation.zoomFactor: Zoom sensitivity.velocity: The velocity at which you move around the screen
This Mandelbrot set visualization program is open-source and available under the MIT License. Feel free to use, modify, and distribute it.
Special thanks to the SFML and GLSL communities for providing excellent tools and resources for graphics programming.
Happy fractal exploring! 🌀
