A very simple Mandelbrot renderer created in C++, using OpenGL and GLFW. This is by no means a fast or efficient way to do it, as it was only really meant for learning OpenGL and GLSL.
First, the project requires the following dependencies:
- GLEW 2.1.0
- GLFW 3.2.1
The solution is configured to look for them in a lib folder in the project root. It also requires that glew32.dll is placed inside the the OpenGL-Mandelbrot folder in order to run/debug from inside Visual Studio.
If using Visual Studio 2017, the project solution should just be ready to open and then build for Win32 Debug/Release.
Note: This has only been tested using Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 7/10
Once running, these are the controls:
- Left click drag: Select an area to zoom into
- Right click: Reset zoom and resolution to default, or cancel zoom selection
- Mouse scroll: Change drawing resolution (number of itterations)
