A fractal rendering software, written in C++, inspired by a much more popular program called Kalles Fraktaler

• Clone this repository
• cd into the repository where the CMakeLists.txt is located
• cmake -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS:BOOL=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release -B./build
• cmake --build ./build/ --config Release --target all

You should now have an executable in the build folder called liten-fraktaler.

The help is available by launching the program with the -H or the --help flag, like this:
./liten-fraktaler --help.

This program has been thought to be easily integrated with other programs.
An example is the bash script called zoom.sh, which repeatedly runs liten_fraktaler at different levels of zoom to generate a zoom in sequence to a Minibrot in the Mandelbrot set located at -1.992561950824231 + 0i. This script requires bc to work; it can be easily modified to work with other fractals and do other types of zoom/pan sequences.

Still a lot of stuff, there are some sparse TODOs in the source code (and some personal notes in the notes file), but the doable ones are summarized here:

• fix smooth coloring
• solid guessing
• supersampling
• add flag to automatically set the number of iterations based on the specified zoom
• Pickover stalks
• allow image segmentation, i.e. subdivide big images that wouldn't fit in RAM, into multiple smaller images, compute each of the individually, and save them on disk
• hybrid fractals
• reorganize and refactor
• [...]
