Instructions

Full tutorial at https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/278144/ but here are the basic instructions: Shift+Click the green flag to toggle turbo mode Z to toggle mouse zoom Click after pressing Z to zoom in at the cursor's location O to zoom out 4x or make mouse zoom selection box bigger I to zoom in 4x or make mouse zoom selection box smaller C to change the starting color (without redrawing) R to redraw the whole thing N to change the number of iterations then redraw M to change the middle coordinate then redraw S to show your current settings

Description

This is just a little project I made that lets you zoom in on the Mandelbrot set. Turbo mode is recommended 25 iterations is okay if you are not zooming in very far The black points (not the backdrop) are part of the set and the colored points are not part of the set. The colored points are colored based on the number of iterations it takes for that specific point to escape to infinity. Theoretically, if the iterations (and computing power) were infinite, then you could keep zooming in forever on the edges and never lose detail Wikipedia has information about the Mandelbrot fractal at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set Try my Burning ship version of this project at: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/125765432/ Changelog: October 14 2016: Shared March 2 2017: Fixed zoom selection box's initial size
