# shader-fractals
Playing around with OpenGL, GLSL, GLFW, GLEW by making Interactive Fractal Visualizations for Mandelbrot, Julia and more.
## Dependencies
This program requires the following dependencies to compile and run:
- GLEW: The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library, for managing OpenGL extensions.
- GLFW: A library for creating windows, contexts, and handling inputs for OpenGL.
- OpenGL: For rendering graphics.
- Standard build tools: gcc, make.
## Building
To build the program, run the following command:
```bash
./compile.sh
```
This will create two executable named `mandelbrot` and `julia` in the current directory.
## Running
To run the program, execute the following command:
```bash
./mandelbrot
# or
./julia
```
## Keybindings
Both programs have the following keybindings:
- `c`: Change the color mode.
- `i`: Invert the color mode gradient.
- `q`: Quit the program.
- `>`: Increase MaxIterations by 100.
- `<`: Decrease MaxIterations by 100.
Julia specific keybindings:
- `r`: Increase Real part of the julia constant complex number.
- `f`: Decrease Real part of the julia constant complex number.
- `t`: Increase Imaginary part of the julia constant complex number.
- `g`: Decrease Imaginary part of the julia constant complex number.
## Cool stuff
