This is a simple C / C++ application that allows you to generate and explore colored fractals. These fractals are generated in real time thanks to the GPU power. It is possible to zoom in and out and move in the complex plane with your mouse.
Deep zooms are made possible by emulating doubles on the GPU, so the precision of calculations is increased, which allows to zoom deeper into the fractal.
To build this project, you need to have CMake of Make installed depending on your system. Make the way to go if you are on Linux or MacOS, if you are on Windows, I recommend using CMake.
Run the follwing commands in your terminal
$ git clone https://github.com/leoraclet/fractals
$ cd fractals/
$ make .
$ ./fractalsI can't guarantee that it will build the project properly on windows since I only tested it on Linux by now, so you're on your own this time.
