Mandelbrot Explorer App

Project Details

Tools

Java

Github Repo

Generated in real-time, this multi-threaded Java program allows you to explore the Mandelbrot set.

You can zoom in by dragging over a portion of the display, and change the maximum number of iterations using 'X' and 'C', as demonstrated in the video.

Implementation in code

The algorithm for the Mandelbrot set is
Z_n+1 = Z_n² + C

By utilizing object-oriented programming, the actual Mandelbrot equation above looks very simple to implement.

Classes involved

For example, this is my complex numbers class which handles anything I would ever need to do with complex numbers.
