okay so bestie, welcome to fraqtive β it lives in section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and it is literally the prettiest thing in your terminal-adjacent life. sit down, hydrate, let's go π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
fraqtive β draws Mandelbrot and Julia fractals πΈ
π DESCRIPTION π
Fraqtive is a program for drawing Mandelbrot and Julia fractals. no cap, that's the whole job and it eats. π
it uses a very fast algorithm and generates high quality, smooth images. so not only is it gorgeous, it's quick about it β main character energy fr fr π
it is fully interactive, allowing for real-time mouse navigation and dynamic generation of the Julia fractal preview. like, you move, it moves, the fractal keeps up, it's giving telepathy πβ¨
an OpenGL-rendered 3D view of the fractals is also supported. yes bestie, THREE. DEE. ππ¦
β OPTIONS β
okay so here's the tea, and it's a short one:
since version 0.4.0 fraqtive does not provide anymore any command line options. periodt. no flags, no switches, nothing to memorise, your brain is free π«Ά
