Exit using Ctrl+C

Then compile using the following command:

gcc -o mandel mandel.c

And finaly run it using:

./mandel

Zoomable Version

For all of you who are dissatisfied by the fact that you cannt zoom into the set or move around inside of your terminal: Here is a zommable and movable version: https://github.com/derDere/mandelbrot-zoom
