Contraction of Multi Power Mandelbrots

The following FractInt formula:

Code:

simon0142-L {
  ; conditional mandel/julia assignments
  ;
  if (ismand)
    p = pixel
    z = p
  else
    p = p1
    z = pixel
  endif
  z2 = z3 = z4 = z5 = z6 = z7 = z8 = z9 = z10 = z11 = z:

  ; perform normal escape time calculation
  ;
  z2 = z2 ^ 2 + p
  z3 = z3 ^ 3 + p
  z4 = z4 ^ 4 + p
  z5 = z5 ^ 5 + p
  z6 = z6 ^ 6 + p
  z7 = z7 ^ 7 + p
  z8 = z8 ^ 8 + p
  z9 = z9 ^ 9 + p
  z10 = z10 ^ 10 + p
  z11 = z11 ^ 11 + p

  ; Bailout test
  ;
  |z2| < 4 || |z3| < 4 || |z4| < 4 || |z5| < 4 || |z6| < 4 || |z7| < 4 || |z8| < 4 || |z9| < 4 || |z10| < 4 || |z11| < 4
}

Produces the image above and also here are a few other zoomed in images:









There are multiple minibrots of various powers dotted around in various locations, but, as it is calculating quite a few powers at once, it does get really slow.

Still, it is a candidate for conversion to Fractal eXtreme, when I get my head around it.

Still, it is a candidate for conversion to Fractal eXtreme, when I get my head around it.

Well, I have started this process and I think I am doing things right, but all I get is a blank window and immediately Fx crashes with a "Fractal eXtreme application has stopped working".

I wonder if it is my code that's wrong (I haven't even started with the high precision code yet).

It does build without any errors but I can't even get the preview stamp to appear.
