Fractal step

A small program for visualizing fractals.

Max Isacson

TODO

• Come up with a catchier name
• Add color selection
• Add option to set random color
• Add option to set random color for each iteration Implement this in a better way
• Add option to set background color maybe
• Add exit button
• Add pause button
• Add "make your own fractal" feature using L-systems
• Add manual stepping thingy
• Add options to set if the program should stop after last iteration, or start over with the first
• Add option to set time between iterations
• Add option to set time before starting over with the first iteration
• More stuff probably
• Fix bug where if the fractal is done with its last iteration, you can not close the drawing window, forcing you to quit the application
• Add option to make rainbow fractals (fetch the color from a given smooth curve in the RGB space)

Fractals to add

• Mandelbrot set
• Julia set
• Sierpinski gasket (L-system) Using Pascals' triangle
• Fractal plant
• Cantor dust (maybe boring, but still a pretty fundamental fractal)
• Newton fractals
• Maybe some other cool stuff, like all roots of polynomials and such

Other cool stuff to add

• Computation of pi (Leibniz vs. Monte Carlo, etc.) Buffon's needle
