These images are of the 'Mandelbrot' sets for polynomials z d + c for various d (for d=2 we have the Mandelbrot set). These images were drawn with the XAOS software. This software will also compute ...

I’m about to set up one for a 1280×1024, 255 deep Mandelbrot, with the expectation of getting 60Hz frames so you can smoothly drive it around. This is as a demo for a group I’m working with.

The Mandelbrot set, according to Wikipedia, is “the set of complex numbers for which the function does not diverge.” Even if you don’t understand the mathematics behind it, you’ve likely ...
