Mandelbrot Fractal - that doesn't suck...

[Astusvis]

It's easily customizable, and I've previously used very similar code to create an animation using multiple frames saved to image files. (Only to minimize subsequent loading times.)

My reference to "that doesn't suck" is because I was prompted to release this after seeing this: http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3388
Which doesn't work very well at all...

Bugs/feature requests/optimizations are welcome, though don't say my code is horrible. It isn't.


EDIT: Ignore the screenshot function, I didn't mean to leave that in there but I CBA to re-upload because it's not worth it.

thanks ._.?

but my latest version of it(last page) worked anyway ._.
Edit :

umm, yours only makes the image, but with mine you could zoom in and all that jazz (with lotsa thanks to kraftman)

[Astusvis]

1) y0, x0, y1, x1 are basically ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax (The things you use to zoom.)
2) Your code is SLOW.
3) The latest posted .love is just threaded, no zooming at all.

I'm not saying yours doesn't work, nor that it is a very good learning exercise. Mine is simply better.

You do use globals where locals would be more appropriate, though.

[Astusvis]

Oh, do I have to define a variable as local manually? God damn every other language!

Cool! Out of curiousity, why is images a table? So far as I can tell, there is only ever one thing in it.

Also, you may want to draw one frame saying "Loading" before you generate your image.

[Astusvis]

Gah, more forgetting to clean up code >.>
I'm going to work on threading next, so a loading screen can wait.

[Astusvis]

Threading DONE!
New upload on OP.

[GijsB]

WHY U NO EDIT INSTEAD DOUBLE-POST?!

just kiding

[Astusvis]

Because then it doesn't show up as a new post. So people don't think anything is new.
