Title: retro fractal
Post by: lsi on March 14, 2010, 04:50:55 PM
Hiya,

First post, pls excuse any lameness..

Sooo... I'm finding this amusing, thought I'd share, hopin someone digs my minimalism..

No, this was not made with an image to ASCII converter, it's a memory dump.  The fractal is in memory awaiting output as a bitmap.  The image will be 100x100 pixels, 16 colours.  So there are 10,000 numbers in the pic below.

Now, back to my Javascript-based renderer... ;)

Well, I like it  O0  I've always liked minimalism.  Even in music.

That's original if nothing else.

Welcome to the forums!

Been there, done that (http://wonderfl.net/code/4adf45aa5e3ae40ceb50bd969fc38b16b9718952) :) Well, actually, it was p01 who "done" that, but nvm.

Neat picture, neat flash.

P.S. - Makc, despite you clever homage to wonderfl in your program, one never gets to see the "I<3" part due to your high bailout.  :evil1:

A nice peak into how your computer sees fractals  :)

Greetings, and Welcome to this particular Forum !!!    :)

I still remember doing something similar a few decades ago.  But it was an IBM mainframe running an Assembler program that read in punched cards.  The program would take the data and generate an image, printing it out in ASCII on the old green bar computer paper.  (I believe I still have that old program and a few of those cards.)    :D   :dink:

Hi All,

Thanks for your comments and inspiration, I shall continue on my journey.. longtime fractal fan, reformed fractint addict, have decided I want to build my own fractint, the above was the first product of that - as it no doubt was for those above, hence the been there done that, I was totally excited to read that cos it means I am on the path... :)

Indeed makc, next up for me is zoom, pan and rotate.  I don't quite understand the algorithm I copied and pasted from the net am using, so am looking forward to comparing your source with mine, nice one.

Then I assume you are aware of Paul de Leeuw's program MANPWIN (http://www.deleeuw.com.au/), which is based on FRACTINT (http://www.nahee.com/spanky/www/fractint/fractint.html) but is a full 32-bit program with true color support.
