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 sure love old Mandelbrot.
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.

very impressive.

It draws a zoomed in portion of the Mandelbrot fractal.
what does it do?
Love it
Great algorithm!

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.
great
