They often possess beauty and complexity arising from relatively simple rules or equations.\n\n## Project Overview\nfractol allows you to explore various fractal sets by generating corresponding images. The program currently supports the implementation of the following classic fractals:\n\n  *  Mandelbrot Set: One of the most well-known fractals, famous for its intricate details and mesmerizing shapes.\n  *  Julia Set: A related fractal family with unique features depending on the chosen complex parameter c.\n  *  Burning Ship Set: Another intriguing fractal set characterized by its distinctive \"flaming ship\" appearance.\n\n\n## Implementation Details\nThe program utilizes the MLX library for low-level graphics manipulation. This allows for:\n\n  *  Creating a graphical window to display the generated fractal images.\n  *  Performing pixel-level manipulation to render the different fractal sets.\n  *  Handling user interaction for features such as zooming and color palette selection.\n\n## Getting Started\n### Prerequisites:\n  *  C Compiler (e.g., GCC)\n  *  MiniLibX library (MLX)\n### Instructions:\n\n  *  Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/ThePhoenix77/fractol.git\n  *  Install the necessary libraries. [MLX documentation](https://harm-smits.github.io/42docs/libs/minilibx/getting_started.html).\n  *  Compile the program: gcc fractol.c -lmlx -lX11 -lm -o fractol (modify flags if needed)\n  *  Run the program: ./fractol\n\n### Controls:\n\n  *  Arrow keys: Navigate within the fractal space (zooming).\n  *  Mouse wheel: Zoom in/out on the fractal.\n  *  Escape key: Exit the program.\n\n## Customization:\n\nThis initial version focuses on core functionality. You can explore potential improvements:\n\n  *  Implement additional fractal sets.\n  *  Introduce color palettes for different fractal sets.\n  *  Add user interface elements for customization options.\n\n## Contributing\nI welcome contributions to this project!
