Hobby code development for Gigatron TTL in C language - Fractals

Its all about fractals. Mandelbrot, Julia and Burning Ship. You get them in two formats. Integer or Floating Point.

And there is more to choose from individual fractals or all in one programs. There are Ascii and Graphics fractals. They are drawn line by line or random dot.

All in one fractal programs intfract and longfract. Both use integer math. Intfract uses 5-bit math/integer and longfract uses 13-bit math/long integer. Both are faster than floating point fractals, but loose some accuracy.
