Freeware Mandelbrot generator

Well, quite nicely!

Thankyou m i s s i l e 😃

Salve!

Hey, what about speed? I would recommend to program a C/C++ version of
'mandy'. And, can you program a small dialog where we can set the
initial parameters (n and c) of the equation z(n+1) = z(n)� + c ?
This would make your program a lot more usable, thought.

Yes, there could be some updates. Mandy is my first java program, so I didnt want to make it too complicated. C/C++ is out of the question for the time being, since Codewarrior costs a little bit too much.

Next version... I'll work on adding a menu to set the number of iterations, allow entry of the set co-ordinates, add a menu to reset the set, and change the tap on screen to generate a Julia set from the chosen co-ordinates.

I'll work on the speed issue too, although I didnt think it was that bad to be honest. People are used to seeing images generated on their PC's which are substantially more powerful than a phone.

Thanks for the comments

Yep, too expensive. The 'Personal Edition' is about $399.

At CeBIT, I was told that I can get an academic version of the
'Personal Edition' for about $100. Yes, currently I'm a student.
So, if you are in a similar situation then you might get also a
$100 version. The only restriction to the academic version is, not
to commercialize anything done with the tool.

It is my indention to buy the academic version, because I also want
do to some mathematical stuff on the P800. Due to the lack of having
no floating-point unit inside the P800, calculations are somewhat
slow. But, the main processor of the P800 (ARM92?T) is a super-set of
the GameBoy Advance main processor (ARM7TDMI), and the
ARM7TDMI processor is binary compatible to the whole ARM9 processor
familie. http://www.arm.com/armtech/ARM7TDMI?OpenDocument
Hence, there are some libraries which can be of use from the GBADev
scene - www.gbadev.org , for the P800, to speed up computations, like
an assembler coded fixed-point library to get floating-point
operations done faster.

Anyway, its sounds good that you will update 'mandy'. Btw; A nice
feature would be to have an option for cycling the colors after the
image is ready. 😊
