r/fractals

I made a browser fractal explorer called FRACTALOID (free, no download)

I've been building Fractaloid, a fractal explorer that runs in your browser. There are 56 fractals to choose from: the classics (Mandelbrot, Julia, Burning Ship, Celtic...), formula hybrids, drifting Julia sets and 12 3D fractals you can fly through. The 2D deep-zoom levels go to roughly 10^100 zoom.

Free to play here: https://smallinfinities.itch.io/fractaloid

You can also create your own fractals and chain up to eight formula steps in the Create screen.

There's also a Photo mode that saves up to 8K stills:

I'd like to hear what you think. Any other features I should add?

Transparency note for the mods: I built this with some AI assistance on the coding side. The app itself doesn't generate any AI images. Every frame is computed directly from the fractal equations, the same way any fractal renderer works. I'm posting it because I think it fits the spirit of the sub, but I understand the no AI generated stuff rule and I'm leaving it entirely to your discretion.

Python fractal generator (or how to turn your computer into a campfire)

Got bored and decided to try my hand at a terminal-native vortex generator that uses ASCII characters to render.

It is definitely a bit rough around the edges and I am no mathematician or anything but definitely a fun project and if you leave it running for long enough you can roast marshmallows over your cpu.

I tried to optimize the load as much as I could but if anyone has recommendations let me know.

Modified Mandelbrot set at (0.308854751616, 0.025355333413) With a height of 1.3 * 10^(-8). Interactive instance of it available at this messy URL.
