#Best settings for madelbrot set ultra fractal code

At the moment the code is still quite messy and needs some refactoring. Unfortunately the speedup isn't as good as one would want it to be, so I'll have to investigate further. The part that consumes most of the time is the calculation and to speed things up I simply split up the screen into rectangles and run the calculations ins separate threads. For this procedure I'm using a std::vector of sf::Uint8 and call update() on the texture by directly accessing the underlying array of vector (C++11 feature vec.data()). Since the fractal is actually a mathematical concept from which we define a way to convert the numbers into pixel information, I have to set every pixel by hand. Within the class I'm using a sf::Sprite to render the generated texture. It's derived from sf::Drawable and thus can be directly drawn onto the window. I use two classes the first one is a simple Application class, which creates a window, handles the input, drawing and managing of the resources and objects. The key will force a rerendering of the fractal.įor those interested in how I do things in the background, I'll say a few words here and if you're really interested checkout the source.The arrow keys and can be used to raise or lower the precision value shown in the top left.

One can zoom-in with the mouse by selecting a rectangle on the window.Source: GitHub (Some C++11 features are required!).I hope you like it and I'm always open for questions, discussions, requests, suggestions, etc. The past two days I've been working on a small application that draws the famous Mandelbrot set and lets you zoom in quite a bit.
