Title: Introduction: Stijn Wolters.
Post by: stijnw on October 06, 2006, 10:42:55 PM
While browsing the 'new message' list of sci.fractals, I discovered a link to this interesting forum. Maybe it is a good idea to introduce myself:

My name is Stijn Wolters (age: 33) and I'm from The Netherlands. I'm interested in fractals since 1990, and programming since the early 80's.

I've written some applications regarding fractals: Funiter (Function Iteration) and OCMJG (Obfuscated C Mandelbrot-/Julia-set Generator):

Funiter is developed in the context of courses at the university of Nijmegen, for highschool students who have a special interest in beta-studies. In 1999 the 2.1 version was released on my webpage. Since then there were periods when I didn't work on the project at all (there was no 'support' from the university anymore), but in 2001 I decided to rewrite all code and release it under the GPL. The future plans are adding a modern userinterface and attractive features to the program, while still preserving that which (I hope) makes it a didactically sound piece of software. I must admit that I could use some help with that in the form of feedback (suggestions) from experienced math teachers/didactics, and students.

One important remark: though 3.0.0 might give the impression that it is the most recent (Windows) release, 2.3.1 in fact is!

As for OCMJG, that's one big (working!) joke  :)
