fulguritude / haskell-fractal

An ETF fractal renderer written in Haskell

haskell-fractal

Description

In a nutshell, this is a parametric renderer of A[X], the set of polynomials over A, where A is some 2D algebra (complex numbers, perplex numbers, etc).

The core of the exercise is to render various escape-time fractals with the following constraints:

• render a fractal image to a window (forces one to learn about available libraries, build systems, and some IO),
• can work with multiple R²-algebras over arbitrary polynomials (forces a minimum of typed architecture, and gives fun renders),
• can run various dwell protocols and various rendering algorithm (forces one to implement modular code),
• can zoom up to machine precision,
• implements a version of the Mariana-Silver algorithm (to learn how to recurse in the language).

For now, only steps 1, 2, 3 and 5 of this core are done.

Running

Runs with stack run. Constant params in code need to be changed for different renders at this point.
