  Mandelbrot Explorer  

Use your mouse to "Point-and-Click" your way through the beautiful and colorful Mandelbrot Set. Boldly go where no man has gone before! (Yes, most of the set has never been explored!)

Instructions: Use the left and right arrow keys to set the size of the zoom window. Left-click the mouse to "zoom into" the zoom window. Right-click to "zoom out" by the same corresponding zoom factor. Press the Esc key to halt plotting. Spacebar toggles animation on/off. ("Off" helps to see the zoom window.) Press Esc again to end the program.

The program first generates a "quick-look" view by skipping over most of the pixels. It then goes back and fills in the remaining pixels.

Source Listing


How To Run The Program

If you're feeling ambitious and have nothing better to do, you could just copy
the source listing by hand! However, there is a much easier way to do it:

  1. Copy the source listing into the Windows Clipboard

  2. Paste the Clipboard into a new text document

  3. Drop that text document onto the "Drop SiMPLE Listing Here" icon
