Mandelbrot Orbits - dcromley - 07-14-2022 The Mandelbrot set is another example of mathematical chaos and there is much enjoyment to be had by examining it. From wikipedia: "The Mandelbrot set is the set of complex numbers c for which the function z=z^2+c does not diverge to infinity when iterated from z=0." There are many programs which show the set and zoom into the set and there is an infinity of patterns and much similarity. This program shows the orbit (iterations) of the function for one mouse-selected number c. For a number in the set, the function can slowly or rapidly converge to one number, or it can oscillate/rotate among many numbers. For numbers not in the set, the function can slowly or rapidly go off to infinity. The numbers near the edge of the set make the most complex patterns. I originally wrote this program (VMBROT.exe) around 1994; somebody used it in their doctoral thesis: https://www.academia.edu/18072755/Fractals_and_Fractal_Architecture (no pictures in pdf?)

Try out the Fractal screen saver. RE: Mandelbrot Orbits - bplus - 07-15-2022 Thumbs up, interesting perspective on Mandelbrot. At Bp.org and Retro someone was doing something Mandelbrot every other week but no one did this. They were either exploring or using it for Timed tests.

I've always wondered if someone could make this in BASIC. Good job! Rho that was incredible! Hey did you used to go to the newsgroup comp.lang.basic.misc back in the 90's? I went there to learn the difference between 80's BASIC languages and QBasic. But I seem to recall your Rho logo in the code. |
