your in both ways making the numbers bigger/smaller
and even when i do that, it WONT work.

There's a big difference.

Currently, you are plotting onto a cartesian plane between 1.5 and 0.3 in the x, and -1.5 and 1.5 in the y. You are splitting this grid based on the size, and checking each point to see if it matches the criteria.

if you multiply 1.5 and -0.3 by 0.9 you get 1.35 and -0.27, so the mesh is finer, and slightly more zoomed in.
if you add and subtract 0.9 respectively, in the x plane you get 2.4 and -1.2, which results in zooming out by quite a large degree in the x plane. In the y plane, you end up zooming in.

okee..

then why is this too not working :

In other words, the difference is which numbers you make bigger/smaller, and by how much.

		xmax = xmax/0.9
		ymin = ymin/0.9
		ymax = ymax/0.9

because you forgot to update dx and dy

i now have this but when you go up or down, and then zoom in/out it makes the ymax and ymin randomly smaller/bigger >_<

Haha, yes. Simply.

wow what are you guys doing to my code 3:

Because you forgot to update dx and dy.

when you update those when changing your look from left to right, up and down you change the size of the mandelbrot!
dx and dy must only be updated when zooming!!

thanks for all of your help kraftman!
