# mandelbrot-set
This project generates a Mandelbrot fractal and saves it as a `.bmp` file.
## Commands
Clone the project
```
git clone https://github.com/sirbuig/mandelbrot-set.git
```
Make sure that `cmake` is installed and that you have a C compiler, such as `gcc`.
Create the build directory
```
mkdir cmake-build
cd cmake-build
```
Run CMake to generate the build files
```
cmake ..
```
Compile the project
```
cmake --build .
```
Run the compiled program
```
./mandelbrot_set
```
After running, a file called mandelbrot_24bit.bmp should appear in the current folder. This file contains the image of the Mandelbrot fractal in BMP format.
## Why BMP?
I found it interesting to use especially because the image is pixel-generated. It's simple to grasp and I had fun understanding how some image formats store the bytes under the hood.
This is the resource I used: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ece264/16au/hw/HW13.
## Results
I still want to continue the project, but I'm taking a break from it. These are some of the results so far:
1. Original
```cpp
int width = 2000, height = 2000;
double centerX = -0.75, centerY = 0.0, scale = 1.0;
```
2. Smaller scale
```cpp
double centerX = -0.75, centerY = 0.0, scale = 0.5;
```
