Quintic Polynomial IFS

[MackTuesday]

I've never heard of anyone using higher orders for IFSs.  This one is a system of quintic polynomials.  I used a little program of my own making.

Never heard? Sure? Apophysis uses arbitrary expressions (plugins) for manipulating variables - so yes, you can also do a "Quintic Polynomial" plugin for Apo

Interesting.  I'm a big fan of a certain exploratory method where you're presented with a bunch of choices, all variations of the same thing, and you choose your favorite  Then you get new variations of the thing you just chose and you repeat this process.  I played with Apophysis a bit but I couldn't figure out how to get it to do this.  Can it?  Is there any fractal software that can operate this way?

At least one that I know of ... but it's old, unmaintained, and MS-DOS software that won't work with modern versions of Windows. Fractint.

There's an even older(!) port to Windoze 3.1 that probably would work with modern Windows but lacks the feature you mention.

Also, neither has more than 256 distinct colors in a fractal or anti-aliasing, and only the MS-DOS one has deep zooming.

I guess that a "quintic poly" requires an insane amount of coeffs, btw.
