Rust Mandelbrot Set Explorer

Rust Mandelbrot Set Explorer is a web app that lets you explore the Mandelbrot set fractal. Built with Rust, compiled to WebAssembly, running on Web Workers.

Code directory

• Mandelbrot set code - mandelbrot/src/lib.rs
• Rust tests - mandelbrot/src/lib_test.rs
• Web Worker - client/app/worker.js
• Leaflet tile generation - client/app/main.ts

Features

• Set max iterations to adjust speed vs render quality
• "Multibrot" sets can be rendered by increasing the exponent parameter
• Tune rendering performance by setting the number of worker threads
• Adjust the size of map tiles
• Enter fullscreen mode
• Save the visible portion of the fractal as an image

Local development

• Build scripts are available in client/package.json. You can use the following commands from within client/:
  • npm install -- Install npm dependencies
  • npm run start -- Serve the project locally for development at http://localhost:9090
  • npm run build -- Build the project for production
  • npm run test -- Run Rust tests
  • npm run lint -- Find problems with code

If you get weird errors, try running ./clean.sh to purge all dependency caches.

The project is based on this Rust WASM worker template.
