Instructions

** Use Turbo Mode! (<Shift> key and "Green Flag") The Mandelbrot Set is a really nice looking fractal pattern. Fractals are patterns that repeat infinitely if you zoom in on them. Some Weird History (Just skim read this for fun). ----------------------------------------------------------------- Facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set but the story is by me. What number multiplied by itself equals negative one? No such number used to exist! Then, in the 16th century, an Italian mathematician Gerolamo Cardano invented an imaginary number "i" and said i * i = -1. Mathematicians do these strange things! Mathematicians then developed a whole set of mathematical rules for Complex Numbers that have a real part and an imaginary part. Much much later, in 1978, the Mandelbrot fractal was first defined and drawn in black and white using a computer by Robert W. Brooks and Peter Matelski.
