In a Linux shell, clone the repository with

$: git clone https://github.com/lukeathedev/cdelbrot.git

then

$: make run

or

$: make
$: ./mandebrot

to compile and run the program.

• Decreasing the font size yields a much sharper and nicer looking fractal (at the cost of execution time).
• Adjusting RESOLUTION in src/mandebrot.c to a lower or higher value can help with image quality.
• Adjusting SENSITIVITY in src/mandelbrot.c to a lower value will reduce the amount of movement between frames.
• Mess around in the source code! Change parameters, modify functions, add features!
