About this app

Developer Description

Fast and simple Mandelbrot and Julia explorer.

A fast and powerful app that lets you explore the famous fractal known as the Mandelbrot Set. Allows you to pan and zoom (with tap and pinch), and change the number of iterations with the volume up/down buttons. Also allows you to preview the Julia set corresponding to any point on the Mandelbrot.

Offers two modes of rendering the Mandelbrot set:
- Simple double precision, with limited zoom but very fast performance.
- Arbitrary precision with GMP and GL shaders, unlimited zoom, but slower performance.

What's New

- Added another Mandelbrot rendering mode: using GL shaders, with arbitrary precision and unlimited zoom.

mind blown.. i wrote my own version using bitmaps and its very slow. I cant seem to figure out how this is possible. some people saying its just a big image, but thats impossible given that the precision goes to about 16 digits. who cares that its not infinite zoom, its incredible it can zoom at this speed as it is. not sure if developer would share how its done or not.

Nice simple Mandelbrot generator, could do with more than 2048 depth though.

★★★

It's super fast but has a fairly limited zoom factor, about 10^13, both due to using double-precision instead of arbitrary-precision arithmetic.

I'm sorry... Uninstalling it...
