📖 What is fractol 🌀?

A program that generates stunning fractal visualizations

        Fractol is a project associated with the curriculum of École 42, a coding school known for its project-based learning approach. The Fractol project uses the C programming language and the MinilibX graphics library to render various types of fractals including Mandelbrot and Julia. The goal of this project is to teach students about computer graphics, complex number mathematics, optimization techniques, and event-driven programming while creating visually mesmerizing mathematical art.

🚀 Usage

To clone and compile:

git clone https://github.com/Patthh/42_fract-ol.git
cd 42_fract-ol && make

To run the program:

./fractol [fractal_type] [optional_parameters]

For example:

./fractol mandelbrot
./fractol julia 0.285 0.01

✨ Features

• 🎨 Multiple fractal sets (Mandelbrot, Julia)
• 🖱️ Interactive zoom with mouse wheel
• 🌈 Psychedelic color schemes with dynamic shifting
• 🔍 Precise navigation with keyboard arrows
• 🎮 Interactive Julia set parameter modification
• 🧮 Configurable iteration depth for detail control

• ⭐ Bonus part:
  • The zoom follows the actual mouse position
  • In addition to the zoom: moving the view by pressing the arrows keys.
  • Make the color range shift

Warning

High zoom levels and iteration counts may result in decreased performance
