42 Yerevan Fractol
For further information about 42cursus and its projects, please refer to 42cursus repo.
One of the first graphical projects at 42 School, fract-ol generates beautiful fractals from the complex numbers of
an iterative mathematical construct. A fractal is a fragmented geometrical figure that infinitely repeats itself at
smaller scales. This project uses the school's graphical library, MiniLibX.
For detailed information, refer to the subject of this project.
🚀 TLDR: The fract-ol project is one of the three "beginner" graphical projects of the
cursus. It teaches you about using graphic library, advanced math, and more.
Note
Because of 42 School norm requirements:
- Each function can't have more than 25 lines of code.
- All variables are declared and aligned at the top of each function.
- Project should be created just with allowed functions otherwise it's cheating.
The program supports these fractal sets:
| Name | Formula |
|---|---|
| Mandelbrot | |
| Julia | |
| Burning Ship | |
| Tricorn | |
| Mandelbox | It's more complex, see this article |
| Celtic Mandelbar |
The program supports the following controls:
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| ESC | Close the program window |
| Keys [1-6] | Move to another fractal |
| Keys [Q-Y] | Change the color of fractal |
| Keys [A-H] | Change the color of fractal |
| Mouse Scroll | Zoom in and out of the fractal |
| ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬅️ ➡️ | Change the viewpoint |
| Key L | Lock Julia's fractal |
| Zero | Reset the fractal to its initial state |
The program is written in C language and thus needs the gcc compiler and some standard C libraries to run.
1. Compiling the program
To compile the program, run:
$ cd path/to/fractol && make2. How to run the program
