Fractol is a program developed for my learning course at 42 school for the exploration of Fractals.
- Zoom and unzoom
- Change the number of iterations
- Move the current fractal
- Rotate by step of 90°
- Edit the display gradient
- Navigate between the three fractals
- Edit the shape of the fractal with the position of the mouse (only available with the fractal Julia)
git clone https://github.com/BenjaminSouchet/Fractol ~/Fractol
cd ~/Fractol && ./fractol JuliaYou have to launch the program with a parameter. This is the name of the fractal you would like to open at the execution of the program. This parameter as to be the name of a valid fractal (Julia, Mandelbrot or Tricorn).
Example :
Open the Mandelbrot fractal ⇣
./fractol Mandelbrot| Description | Key(s) |
| Close the program (aka quit/exit) | esc |
| Reset all the changes made for this map | clear |
| Change the display gradient (aka change color) | shift |
| Enable or disable the mouse controls | M or S |
| Increase the global size of the fractal (aka zoom) | + |
| Decrease the global size of the fractal (aka unzoom) | - |
| Move the fractal to the up (aka move up) | ▲ |
| Move the fractal to the down (aka move down) | ▼ |
| Move the fractal to the left (aka width move left) | ◄ |
| Move the fractal to the right (aka move right) | ► |
| Increase the number of iterations | W |
| Decrease the numbre of iterations | Q |
| Clockwise rotation on the Z axe | T |
| Counter clockwise rotation on the Z axe | R |
| Display the Julia fractal | 1 |
| Display the Mandelbrot fractal | 2 |
| Display the Tricorn fractal | 3 |
| Description | Control(s) |
| Increase the global size of the fractal at the position of the cursor | left button |
| Decrease the global size of the fractal at the position of the cursor | right button |
| Increase the global size of the fractal (aka zoom) | scroll up |
| Decrease the global size of the fractal (aka unzoom) | scroll down |
