Recently I had some spare time, and used it to create a program to render the Mandelbrot Set fractal. It has been a very cool problem to write a quick application for. I want to share what I have learned in case someone else wants to build something similar or just wants to know how cool fractal images can be created. The program itself is written in C# with WPF. It will run faster if done in C, and I am not using any features for the image generation that WPF is necessary for. The reason I chose C# with WPF was that I wanted to get some practice with them before I start my new job.
The inclusion of any complex number C in the Mandelbrot set is determined by applying the following algorithm to that point: 1. Set a complex number Z to 0 2. Square Z and ...
For the last 15 years, my family has put their pictures up on a web server so that friends and families can browse through them. Unfortunately, the images that were put up were not well catalogued, and it was difficult ...
I was playing around with the Longest Common Subsequence algorithm (which is used, among other things, for the Diff utility) for another project that I hope to write about soon, and I noticed some interesting patterns. The LCS problem has ...
