Graphic fractale: FlashMandelWOS Version 1.6
Version 1.6 of FlashMandelWOS has been uploaded on Aminet in
gfx/fract directory.
With FlashMandel you can explore fractal space and create your own pictures.
These are the main features:
Full functional program for rendering Mandelbrot & Julia fractals with different
exponents. Support for ECS/AGA/RTG and 68020+/PPC with an FPU Amiga or compatible
systems. Uses new Reaction GUI, Localization, and has an Installer script also to
easy update or uninstall the program. C & Asm 68k/PPC sources included!
It's really fast even on old Amigas and should be also compatible with all new
Amiga clones and it's free.
This has changed in the new version:
- Extended the Z = Z² + C formula to Z = Z^(2^n) + C with 1 <= n <= 11.
- Added the new ToolType POWER default to 1 for the classic Mandelbrot & Julia formulas.
- Fixed some little Reaction default pubscreen mistakes.
- Default coords are now (-2,+1.125i) and (+1,-1.125i).
- Splitted the archive into 2 parts one for pictures pix/fract/FlashMandelPic.lha and
other for program to reduce the size of the archive.
- Some minor internal changes and improvements.
- Recompiled and linked with new AmigaOS 3.9 developer archive includes and libs.
- Updated the docs and installer to reflect new changes.
- and much more...
In next version is planned an AREXX port to control the program in auto mode to
build anim movies and a special benchmark mode to evaluate the CPU/FPU/MEM speed
of 'OLD' real Amigas 68K/PPC VS 'NEW' software clones (UAE & company), stay tuned. (ps)
