This was created as a learning project and is based on [this great tutorial](https://sotrh.github.io/learn-wgpu/).\n\nThe explorer can be run as a standalone desktop application (should work for Windows, Linux and MacOS) or as a web application for which a [demo is available](https://lobis.github.io/fractal-explorer/).\n\n## [✨ Live Demo](https://lobis.github.io/fractal-explorer/)\n\n## 🤓 Usage\n\n* **Mouse Left Click**: Toggle Julia set *c* parameter selection.\n* **Mouse Cursor Position**: Select Julia set _c_ parameter.\n* **Mouse Wheel | Trackpad | Up \u0026 Down Arroy Keys**: Zoom on cursor position.\n* **Mouse Right Click**: Hold and drag to translate fractal.\n* **J | M Keys**: Toggle between Julia and Mandelbrot sets.\n\n## ⚙️ Build\n\nTo build the executable run:\n\n```\ncargo build --release\n```\n\nThere is a Windows executable available as an artifact of the v0.1.0 release which can be downloaded [here](https://github.com/lobis/fractal-explorer/releases/download/v0.1.0/fractal-explorer-app.exe). Please always be very careful when downloading executable files from the internet.\n\n## 🌐 Web\nTo build the web application run the following command. You may need to install `wasm-pack` via `cargo install wasm-pack`.\n\n```\nwasm-pack build --target web --out-dir public/pkg\n```\n\nAll files related to the static site will be placed under `public` with `index.html` the entrypoint. You can server the site locally using `python3 -m http.server` and then navigating to `http://localhost:8000`.\n\n```\npython -m http.server 8000 --bind 127.0.0.1 --directory public\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flobis%2Ffractal-explorer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flobis%2Ffractal-explorer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flobis%2Ffractal-explorer/lists"}
