Fract'ol (with bonus)

Overview

Fract'ol is a project developed as part of the 42 school curriculum, aiming to introduce students to 2D programming and the world of fractals. This project showcases a range of fractals, rendered with MinilibX in C.

Features

• Mandelbrot Set
• Julia Set
• Tricorn Fractal
• Burning Ship Fractal
• Interactive Controls: Zoom in/out, move around, shift colors.
• MinilibX Integration: Leveraging the lightweight minilibX library for creating graphical interfaces on Linux.

Commands

• + : zoom in
• - : zoom out
• keyboard arrows : move view (left/right/up/down)
• mouse wheel up : zoom on mouse pointer
• mouse wheel down : zoom out (center wise)
• tab : switch sets
• shift : shift colors

Usage

• Program needs an argument (the set name) to start:
• ./fract-ol mandelbrot
• ./fract-ol julia
• ./fract-ol tricorn
• ./fract-ol burn

Julia set special arguments

• The Julia set can take 2 values to modify its shape, this values must lands between [-2.0;2.0]
• Inputing no values will result in the default Julia shape

Installation

• make in directory (require gcc)
