Burning bird is the last fractal here:
http://fraqtive.mimec.org/features, called 'sitting bird'. [how do I add images in this forum?]. I would rather call it 'begging dinosaur'
@bkercso Can you provide me with resources for first- and secound ciclois test for Mandelbrot? Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
1) This is not so easy because you would have to save the entire orbit (like for SumExp or SumDelta) for each pixel which is not possible.
But 2, 4 and 5:
I plan to add caching so that only certain portions of the image would be recalculated (for instance moving, changing colors, changing colorization of
only the lake or the escaping orbits; scaling is more difficult and might not be possible in a satisfying way).
3) This is something I would like to keep the way it is, because usually the OS reduces the thread priority of background apps, so
they don't consume that much power, and furthermore when you calculate an image that takes a long time, you might just quickly check
some emails and then want to look back whether rendering is already done (this is also why I always show the "Calculation finished"-message).
6)Yes, that's a bit confusing and it's a compromise for devices with lower resolutions where the Palette does not fit next
to the Lake-settings. But I will make it more user-friendly and put length into the Bailout/Lake-menu. Makes way more sense.
7) This is caused by Android that kills applications if it needs memory. Afaik the only solution to this would be to always run
it in foreground with a status icon (like an MP3-player). I am thinking about various other solutions for this problem like
saving the last fractal that was rendered. This would be addressed together with the bookmarks.
9, partly 10, 11, 12) These I would combine with the bookmark menu. I am thinking of something like a 'Pick from bookmarks'-button inside the dialogs which might be the least confusing way to do it. But this will take some time.
10) I actually plan having something like "phoenix, mandelbrot, burning ship, custom" in a list. This I will address in some later update, where I also plan support for custom colorizations. I will also add easy support for julia-sets with this, but this will take some time. But I will add an abs-function and a sgn-function that makes it easier to enter burning ship-alike fractals (have to find good names for those...)
13) This would be nice, true. I am not sure how to do this yet (afaik in PNG this is not possible, but it should be possible to put it as capture in the gallery?)
So, thanks a lot, again for this exhaustive list. It really is extremely helpful
