Title: New version of Fractalytic
Post by: dpw-shane on February 15, 2014, 01:46:44 PM
After a long time away from the keyboard a new version of my Fractalytic program has been uploaded today. This is just a small update to the program (now version 0.63.1) that includes Anti-Alias routines for the Fractal Fern and a new colouring scheme for the Fractal Quilts. I hope to be able to add the anti-aliasing to the other affine transformation fractals shortly.

Fractalytic is a fractal program created in Visual Basic that can generate around 20 different 2D Fractal Types including Mandelbrot, Julia, Newton-Raphson, Buddhabrot, Burning Ship, Sierpinski Gasket, Koch Curve, Fractal Ferns, Strange Attractors, Symmetric Fractals, Fractal Quilts and more.

Another minor update today (v0.63.2) with anti-alias routines added to the Sierpinski Carpet, Levy C Curve, Koch Curve and Symmetric Icons. Also the Fractal Fern drawing routine has been optimised slightly to improve render times.

Another update to the Fractalytic program (v0.63.3) released today. This is only a minor update and doesn't add much to the front-end of the program but does include further anti-alias routines for Symmetric Fractals, Square Quilts and Hex Quilts as well as some speed improvements and other optimisation.

Another minor update to Fractalytic (v0.63.4).

The Mandelbrot and Julia fractal types now have three different colour schemes rather than just the standard one from the previous versions.

I've also made a few changes to the Newton-Raphson method code so that it can now colour by iteration rather than root, it centralises better when the window is resized and I've fixed a few bugs including one that prevented the rest zoom from working.

And a quick update with a new Newton-Raphson Function f(x) = x^n - x^(n-1) - 1.

Also fixed some bugs with the Mandelbrot set not displaying properly after window was resized (stretched/squashed or not centred properly).
