Mandelbrot (Java Applet)

This is a little applet I created to play with generating images of the Mandelbrot set.

To do:

  • Test to make sure it work on Windows. (A previous version was Mac-only. I've since recompiled it against JDK 1.1.7, so it should run even on Microsoft's very out-of-date version of the Java runtime environment, but I haven't had a chance to test it to make sure. If the applet doesn't run, you can at least view screenshots here.)
  • rendering of Julia sets
  • delegating some of the processing to the server?

Already done:

  • algorithm optimizations (Mariani/Silver method)
  • zooming and scrolling
  • fixed zoom so it zooms to center rather than to the upper-left corner
  • added a cacheing algorithm, reducing the number of calculations needed when zooming and scrolling
  • added variable resolution and variable shading

This is a little applet I created to play with generating fractal landscapes. (I'm still refining the algorithms.)
