A MATHEMATICALLY generated Mandelbrot Set within Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. Just 81 blocks! I think all the smarter dudes will find this fascinating, so I posted it.

Just a warning, takes about 15 - 30 seconds to load, so don’t be disheartened if the screen stays black for a bit.

This thing scares me

WOAHH!! Where’s the hype around this!? I couldn’t imagine generating a fractal in makecode. I’m not sure what uses it would have, although it does push the limits of the program!

I made a mandelbrot set visualizer with panning and zooming and color bands.

For completeness, I should give props to the originals:

> [image] [image] Could do with better pan/zoom, and better color choices. Algorithm adapted (badly) from [http://slicker.me/fractals/fractals.htm](http://slicker.me/fractals/fractals.htm) Pan around with the arrow buttons. Zoom in with A. Zoom out with B.

> A very simple but interest mandelbrot browser, it can zoom and move. A, zoom in B, zoom out up/down/left/tight, move [mandelbrot%E6%BC%94%E7%A4%BA] [https://makecode.com/\_aLccUMJrqE7w](https://makecode.com/_aLccUMJrqE7w)

> [GIF%202019-11-15%2012-25-59] I have upgrade my simple mandelbrot browser, it is much fast now. I use guess method to accelerate calcaute, and display sketch first. And I found a bug in develop, pause(0) will make simulator halt, in real board it works. So I have to use pause(1), this will slightly reduced running speed.
