Slow but interesting. What is a mandelbrot? Judging by this it is like a raytracer but does not use a ray, reflection, etc. but it does use the drawers' position to indicate the color.
That's what I was looking at, how to take a slow application and make it faster. I was using broadcasts to mirror the rendering which doubled the speed, but the mirrors got out of sync in the Java version.

I've seen another person's madelbrot, and their tracer went slower through the larger(more centered) iterations, why does yours go faster?

If you are interested, I have created a similar program which seems faster and which allows you to zoom interactively: (link to project)

The Mandelbrot set is not a ray tracer. It just maps out an equation that uses complex numbers.

It draws a zoomed in portion of the Mandelbrot fractal.

What's impressive here is the speed. I've tried a few other Mandelbrot generators in the Scratch archive and this one seriously outpaces the others.
