The Mandelbrot set in JavaScript

Re: The Mandelbrot set in JavaScript
#12Nice writeup.
I did a mandelbrot viewer in javascript like 5 years ago. In fact, it was the only thing I ever wrote in Javascript besides dom manipulation crap. I wanted to try the canvas tag when it was first introduced, and this was the first project that came to mind. My version had color and let you click on the image to zoom. After about 20 clicks, it would run out of precision and the pixels would turn into larger and larger blocks. It was also slow as dirt back then. I'd bet it would probably run pretty good nowadays.

#13Such a small code snippet! I wrote coloring using the triangle inequality in JS a couple years ago for someone on reddit:

Amazing that we can write these things up so quickly in a browser.

#14The next step is smooth coloring. I've written a post explaining it here: https://csl.name/post/mandelbrot-rendering/ The js code can be tested on https://csl.name/mandelbrot
Did you forget renew a domain name? The demo link in your post's opening paragraph is now leading to some kind of Japanese Bra company.

#15Here is another one. click to zoom. modify hash for antialiasing and higher iteration count.

Haha, thanks for spotting that! It should lead to the link in the above comment of course.

#17a fractal is much more fun when you can zoom http://calvinmetcalf.github.io/leaflet-fractal/#255/-0.37/0.... course that's MUCH more then 25 lines
Good point!
I was able to add the zoom capability without TOO much code:
