Complex-Fractal-Visualizer

A real time rendering tool for visualizing complex fractals such as the Mandelbrot set and Julia sets.

Dependences

• sdl2
• sdl2_ttf

SIMD

I used avx2 (Advanced Vector Extensions) to speed up the rendering so if your using a cpu created before 2013 this code will not work on your machine. If your cpu is newer than 2013 it should be fine, probably.

Building

• make to build
• then make clean to get rid of .o files
• ./bin to run

Key Binds

mouse

• left click and drag to move around
• scroll wheel to zoom in and out

escape

• returns to menu

i

• increases iterations

o

• decreases iterations

z

• zoom in around center of screen

x

• zoom out around center of screen

arrow keys

• the arrow keys move around the c constant in the Julia set
