COCY OF PMC IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE FRACTAL MEGAPACK, MADE BY COCY OF PMC AND ATTRACTOR WE WILL IN THIS DEMO TRY TO SHOW YOU SOME OF THE FACILITIES OF FRACTAL GEOMETRY. THE TWO DRAWINGS BELOW THIS SCROLL, ARE A JULIA SET (LEFT) AND THE MANDELBROT FIGURE....THEY ARE BOTH PRODUCED BY VERY SIMPLE FORMULAS, BUT THEN ALL CALCULATIONS ARE DONE WITH COMPLEX NUMBERS. THEY ARE BOTH EXAMPLES OF COMPLEX DYNAMICS. WHICH YET IS NOT TOTALLY UNDERSTOOD. (THIS IS THE FUTURE!)  WELL, ANYWAY TO ALL YOU CODERS OUT THERE!! START MAKING FRACTAL DEMOS INSTEAD OF THOSE BORING BOB AND VECTOR DEMOS.........THE CREDITS FOR THIS CHARSET AND THE LOGO GOES TO RAMJET OF SHAPE!  THE CODING ON THIS DEMO IS DONE BY ME (COCY)  THE MUSIC IS MADE BY STONEMAN!.....  THE DEMO WHICH IS COMING UP WAS REALLY MEANT TO BE A CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEMO COMPETITION AT THE PARTY IN DRAMMEN, BUT SINCE THEY HAD SOME PROBLEMS OVER THERE (TO BAD!!) I HAD TO PUT IT ON THIS PACK INSTEAD, IT IS CALLED THE JULIA DEMO!!     OK!

TAKE HOLD OF THY SOCKS...          THESE PICTURES ARE DESIGNED TO KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF.   ALL OF THESE PICTURES ARE CALCULATED WITH OUR OWN MANDELCALC (TM) PROGRAM.   BUT WE REALLY HAVE TO THANK  PREACHER  FOR LENDING HIS COMPUTER DURING MANY LONG DAY AND NIGHT HOURS WHEN MANY OF THE PICTURES WAS CALCULATED!!!   THE SAMPLE PICTURES YOU SEE HERE ARE FROM THE MANDELBROT SET.   WHICH IS PERHAPS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MATHEMATICAL OBJECT.   IT WAS DISCOVERED BY BENOIT B. MANDELBROT IN 1980 SO THIS IS A 10 YEAR ANIVERSARY...      THE SOUNDTRACK IS FROM THE AWARD WINNING TV PROGRAM CHAOS.   WHERE WE ALSO FOUND B. B. MANDELBROTS OWN STORY OF THE DISCOVERY OF THE NOW FAMOUS FRACTAL BEARING HIS NAME.   THE SET IS EASY TO DEFINE.   IT CONSISTS OF ALL THE (BLACK) POINTS C IN THE COMPLEX PLANE WHICH WHEN ITERATED X SQUARED ADDED TO C DOESN'TESCAPE TO INFINITY.   IF YOU HAVE EVER TRIED TO MAKE YOUR OWN MANDELBROT PICTURES YOU WILL NOTICE THAT SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE COLOURS.   THAT SOMETHING IS COLOUR CONTROL.   WE HAVE TO ADMIT THAT OUR PROGRAM ISNT THE FASTEST ONE AROUND.   THE PICTURES YOU SEE HERE AVARAGES 10 HOURS OF COMPUTING TIME.   NOT TOO BAD WHEN YOU'RE USING 4096 ITERATIONS...
