NDS/Mandelbrot Set

A fractal explorer written by Davr, let's you play around with the fun Mandelbrot Set.

I was inspired to make a fractal explorer for the DS, and what better fractal than the classic Mandelbrot Set! If you don't know what a Mandelbrot is, or why it's in a set, check trusty Wikipedia.

This is an initial version, I'm still working on how to best balance speed and quality. This isn't the fastest it can be, but it's not the best quality either. You can zoom a ways in, but not as far as I would like. You'll know when you've hit the limit of precision, because edges start getting very rough and strange patterns (stranger than normal mandelbrot, that is).

Features

Features in R05:

  • Minor UI improvements (probably unnoticable)
  • Big speedups when zoomed all the way out, at this point I switch to using s16/s32
  • Improvements in quality, the maximum zoom is a bit farther in now

Features in R04:

  • Zoom by dragging a rectangle
  • Save screenshot to PNG
  • Panning, Zooming, Adjust Iterations by buttons
  • 14 different color palettes
