Mandelbrot Set Simulation

Overview

This project is a simulation of a famous fractal known as the Mandelbrot set. In short, it is a picture generated by a mathematical equation and complex numbers and the points are coloured in a 2d plane depending on how fast a resulting number grows after succesive iterations.

Features

1. 🔎Zoom-in: Zoom in/out where you can zoom deep into the fractal until the precision limit of floating numbers in JS.
2. ↔️ Panning: You can click on a journal entry and view the entire entry, and all the keyword tags the entry has.
3. Toolbar and controls: You can see the coordinates you are at in the zoom, a controls "tutorial" and some settings
4. Iteration and zoom settings: You can set the zoom multiplier, pan amount, and max iterations* (see 5)
5. Max iterations: You can increase/decrease max iterations to change the resolution of the image (note better resolution with greater max iterations = more time required to calculate)
