Mandelbrot set
A downloadable insane renderer for Windows and Linux
You need to access the terminal when starting the program or when saving an image. It freezes the program until you write on the terminal.
The pixel size is how big the pixels are, so big pixels give better performance. When it's 1, it renders in full resolution. Recommended value: 10
Circle distance on for the normal look. If not circle distance, the Mandelbrot set will look square-ish.
Rotate the squares: N/M
Be careful when saving images: Type in the extension of the image, like .png or .jpg, or it saves an image without one and ruins the file. If you don't run it in a selected directory the saved images go to the default OS location.
Controls:
Zoom: W/S
Move: Left/Right/Up/Down arrows
Change max iterations: Q/A (This will change the brightness of the set.
The controls listed above can be changed 3x by pressing the SHIFT key.
Render image (in full resolution): P
Save state: Y+U
Load state: H
Skip rectangle top left: Z
Skip rectangle bottom right: x
ESCAPE to quit.
The Python file is actually less than 4kb of storage (with Pygame) but PyInstaller makes it more than 25mb. I uploaded the code to Github so you can check it out: https://github.com/justbanana9999/mandelbrot-set
