Taught my CS how to program a mandelbrot set generator from scratch today.
Still don't have the colors doing exactly the right thing. This is in python, but we'll sort it out in the next class.
The most annoying thing is making the magnitudes of the terms in the series into a number between 0 and 256 without knowing exactly how big they will get.
I need to find my old James Gleick book.
@futurebird Neat! Any tips if I want to code along? I’m doing more python lately and I’ve wanted to visualize this set for years.
Mandelbrot Set Stuff
Can you see these files? There is some starter code in the zip file (works well in Thony) but you could start by reading the "notes" then there is some more reading and a pdf about how the graphics library works because I can never remember.
@futurebird @chris_radcliff Good golly I'm such a rusty old fogey. This took me way too long.
Mandelbrot, 8-bit style:
