Fractal

Mandelbrot solver and renderer.

Build Instructions

For the initial setup, install meson and make a build directory. You only need to run meson build once.

apt update
apt install python-pip3 g++ libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-image-dev libgmp-dev libcairo2-dev
pip3 install meson
mkdir build
meson build

Run ninja from inside the build directory to build the project. Run a server in one process and a client in another. The server must be started first.

cd build
ninja
./fractal server PORT
./fractal client IP:PORT

To-Do List

• More than 2 server connections
• Epsilon solver
• Dynamic iteration updates
• Store tiles to disk
• Dynamic coloring
• Faster client-side rendering
• Smooth coloring
• Multi-threaded CPU solver
