Fractal Viewer

Fractal viewer developed as a practice project.

By wikipedias definition, "In mathematics, a fractal is a geometric shape containing detailed structure at arbitrarily small scales, usually having a fractal dimension strictly exceeding the topological dimension.". Simplified, this means they're really cool looking, often self-similar objects that you can more or less infinitely zoom into.

I've decided to do a small C++/SFML based project that generates some of the most famous fractals, and allows you to browse them and zoom in as much as SFML's zoom functionality allows.

Also added is the feature of exporting your current view as a PNG as these things, at right positions and zooms, can make some really cool backgrounds.
