Fractal4D

Fractal4D is a simple cross-platform GLFW/OpenGL app to run a function on the GPU for every pixel.

Controls

• Comma: Lower resolution
• Dot/period: Increase resolution
• Mouse: Look around
• WASD: Fly in camera direction
• Space: Fly up
• Shift: Fly down
• Scroll: change camera speed

Usage

Edit the getPixel(in vec2 pixel_coords) function inside /res/raymarcher.comp with the GLSL code you'd like to run on the GPU. The shader will be run as a compute shader, which requires at least a GPU supporting OpenGL 4.3.

Building

Make sure you have the GLFW library installed in your system! I used the glfw-x11 package from the AUR.

To do an out-of-source build, run the following commands:

1. mkdir build
2. cd build
3. cmake ..
4. make

The executable Fractal4D will be output. Make sure the res folder is in the working directory!
