Fractal Universe V3 Released *Updated*


Submitted by greg; July 04, 2009


Update:
  • Added a higher quality setting (255 iterations).
  • Implemented auto mode that can create frames of a fractal growth effect video.
  • Program now clocks the PSP to 333 MHz.
  • Saved images are now in 24 bit bitmap format.
  • Some information is now shown on the calculating screen.
  • Program now makes click sound for every valid button press, and when a new frame is rendered.
  • Fixed program exit screen to work properly when Home button is pressed.
  • Implemented zoom viewfinder.
  • Images are now saved to ms0:/PICTURE/Fractals so they can be viewed in the XMB picture viewer.

Here's a little somethin' somethin' from the developer you know as Art... It's Fractal Universe -- Explore it! Really, I don't know what else to tell ya.
This is a relatively fast Mandelbrot set fractal explorer. You can move left, right, up, down, and zoom in & out of the image you see at any time. The fractal universe is limitless, and you can zoom in as many times as you like without losing any detail. You can also save an image to Memory Stick.

It's because the one it has is "special" in some way so it does not loses quality as you zoom in.

Does no one know what a mandelbrot is?
It's a very fascinating aspect of mathematics.

Very nice program by the way.

It is based on a formula so how could you use your own pictures? It is a mathematical calculation that adds up to make the graph (a trig function I believe) where colors represent different included and not included regions and more and less dense areas. Again, how would you use your own picture?

Interesting. This is kinda cool. I'm impressed that the PSP can render this at a relatively fast speed. I <3 fractals.

I realize and appreciate the complexity of this program and the math involved, but I would love to see it run a little faster in an update. Would this be possible?

Not exactly fun. Takes a good 10 secs between zoom or move. Not very exciting at all.

# W.T. Snacks 2009-07-06 17:13
I agree. As I said before, could it be made faster? Anyone?

A fractal is the image of chaos. Chaos Theory is one of “Physics Foibles”.

I really liked this post. You describe this topic very well. Natural gemstones are found in nature. Laboratory-created stones, as the name implies, are made in a laboratory. These stones, which also are referred to as laboratory-grown, manufacturer-created, or synthetic, have essentially the same chemical, physical, optical, and visual properties as natural gemstones. By contrast, imitation stones look like natural stones in appearance only, and may be a manmade or natural stones. Gemstones may be measured by weight, size, or both. Carats are divided into 100 units, called points. When gemstones are measured by dimensions, the size is expressed in millimeters (for example, 7x5 millimeters). Gemstone treatments or enhancements refer to the way some gems are treated to better their appearance or strength, or even change their color. Many gemstones are treated in some way. Some enhancements also affect the value of a stone, when measured against a comparable untreated stone. Treatments and/or enhancements should always be disclosed by the seller.
