you can do abs(z+c) for a different fractal
Exactly... Except it's not thousands of times, it's 8 XD You only need thousands if you're zoomed in ultra far, usually a few hundred is good enough to see details
you pick ant point on the complex plane, call it c, make a copy of it, call it z and then update z with z^2 + c, thousands of times. if the point escapes to infinity, then its not part of the set, and gets aside a color depending on how fast it escapes. but if c stays in almost the same place then its part of the set and its colored black.
i also know what is the mandelbrot set
Another cool computer with horrible and broken interface. +1
Welp at least 1 other person knows what a Mandelbrot is... thx lol
